Photoshop :: Brush Erase Has No Effect
Feb 12, 2006
I try to erase part of a layer, it won't have an effect when the eraser is switched to brush or pencil. But it does work fine when set to block.
However, -and here's the strange thing- when the eraser is set to brush and the erase isn't working, if I go at the layer crazily, constantly clicking at the layer, eventually the eraser does work! Every single click is registered in the history window, but the actual action of erasing only actually happens sparsely after random clicking. And it seems to be completely random as well. It doesn't seem to depend on where I click, or the frequency of clicks or even the time after the first click.

using mac OS 10.6.8 with CS5 Xtnd: I don't get it! When I first began using this app (and I've spent much time swearing at it with no result) and until recently and in either normal or full size mode showing xhairs and whether I use as paint or erase the effect is always considerably less than the diameter of the tip.
What is with this? I require a tip that goes right to the edge of what is supposed to be the tip...

I followed the directions in guided mode in "recompose" to protect/remove. All I get is the little cross hair curser. Is there suppose to be a virtual "brush" like the directions speak about? I am using the supposedly "fully functional trial" version of Photoshop elements 11.

I am unable to get my erase brush to work. I click on the "Erase" option, the "-" brush comes up, I run it over the masker area and nothing is erased. I try the other option of holding the ALT key while brushing to erase, the "-" comes up, but nothing is erased as I run over the masked area.

I'm using win 7 with LR 4.1 RC 2, but this issue goes back to LR 3.6 (my first) for me.
I don't get a clean erase of an adjustment brush overlay by passing over it with the brush in "erase" mode. Even after 5-10 passes some small isolated spots continue to show the red overlay marker. Clicking the brush repeatedly while centered right over a stubborn red spot does not remove it.
I paint with a mouse, and typically use a feathered brush. The flow and density are always set to 100.
This is more of a nuisance than problem, since the remaing areas are very small, and I haven't noticed problems in the final image. Still, it should not work that way. I never see this when erasing in Photoshop.

I am having trouble getting the erase tool to erase part of an elipse shape in Corel Draw. I select the erase tool and click and drag across the part of an elipse that I want to get rid of (so far so good), then I release the mouse and an outline of the nib tool is left behind.

Wblock when run from the command line used to erase the entities selected, now it seems it does not, but the dialog box shows an option to keep or erase the selected entities.
Any variable name that controls this functionality?

I need to try and create a swish that looks like it was done with a pointed paintbrush. So it looks like the brush was pushed down at the start of the swish but towards the end the brush was lifted so the swish tapers out to a point.

I like to make patterns in photoshop and usually my only way of doing this is by making an image, then transforming it down 50% and left 50% (So it takes up 1/4th the image) then pasting the image to fill up the other 3 quadrants. After doing this I can see the seams that would normally be at the edge of my pattern, then I can edit them out. This gets more and more time consuming as my patterns get more complicated.
I was wondering if there is any way to change the brush tool so that if I draw over the edge of the canvas, the brush will automatically send those pixels to the opposide side. Sort of like in old NES games where you could run off the edge of a level and reappear on the other side of it. Or you could stand on the edge of the level and mario would be half on the left and half on the right. Does anyone know what im referring to?

On one image I used ripple texture to simulate shine on glass and it worked great. On another image, I tried to do the same thing but the texture is a small repeat pattern and doesn't look like glass at all. I tried to get the effect by changing size and hardness and pattern size of the brush but no luck. What should I do?

When using the Adjustment Brush to mask a portion of a RAW image so I can reduce the exposure of only a part of my photo I get an uneven effect. It appears that the mask is not affecting some pixels of the area I'm trying to adjust. The photo was taken inside a cathedral in Vienna where the lighting wasn't great so I used an ISO of 3200 on my Nikon D7000 camera. I made noise reduction adjustments before attempting to use the Adjustment Brush. A portion of the image is shown below. I have had the same problem with other photos when using the Adjustment Brush. I've tried different Feather, Flow, and Density settings without noticable improvement.

I've been playing around with the pen tool and i was wondering whether there was a way of altering the brush dynamics so that when i stroke the path it produces a tapered effect i.e. so that the path starts as a point, grows thicker towards the middle, then tapers back to a point?

I have been erasing the hue layers when i do specific pictures when i want the backround to be a different hue than the foreground. And i would select the hue layer, and just use the erase tool and it would remove that specific hue in that area... Well now i will not do that anymore. I must have checked some box on accident or somthing. when i select the eraser tool and the hue layer, it shows the eraser circle on the picture, but it will not erase anything...

I just installed CS2, and I can only use the eraser tool to erase if what I'm erasing is inside a selection. Otherwise I click and try to erase but nothing erases. Even when I drop selection (ctrl D) and there is NO selection, I still can not erase. I have to select all (ctrl a) in order to erase anything in the workspace.

I have Windows 7 and Photoshop CS6 that I bought today. I was playing around with new brushes I downloaded today and all of a sudden they stopped working. They wouldn't write and then I got this idea that maybe they were erasers and not writables.
Well they did not erase, they wrote and not in my primary color. Then when I went to show my husband...all of a sudden they worked correctly. Then I went on my merry way playing with my new brushes and they broke again. I am going to try to include pics here but I am not real good at HTML. It just seems easier to show you what is on my screen than to describe it.
So, the first picture is when I used my brush as a Brush Tool as you can see. I had to zoom in so you can see how many pixels it actually wrote. As you can see the brush is much larger. This is the second time it did this. The first time it wrote many more pixels, actually looked kinda cool with this faded ink kind of look to it.
The second is what happened when I tried to erase my coloring. As you can see, it choose the secondary color. I am not at all sure why it would choose that color of all colors. Like I said, I know nothing about computers and I am learning Photoshop.

I have a simple image made up of 3 layers, all unlocked.
The eraser and brush tools have no affect on the layers. It's weird, because they were working yesterday on the same image.

I have an image of a website form, and a border that goes around it (the <fieldset> tag). Behind this border exists a samurai's head and some nice looking flowers, which if he knew about them, I am relatively sure the samurai would be pissed.
Anyway, I want to be able to erase the border from the top of the samurai's head so that it will ultimately look like the border's lines run behind the head, and not over the top. I am aware that one way to do this would involve rendering the samurai object separate from the image, but that would be a lot of work, and I am looking for an easier / better solution.

I assume I have done something that will not allow me to "Paint" or "Erase" on layers. When I choose the paintbrush, the "chip" indicating the color no longer appears on the toolbar, opacity is set to 100%. Blending option is set to "Normal". "Paint Fill", shapes, filters and everything else works, so the layer or pixels are not locked. If I use one of the tools, the action appears in the "history" pallette, but does not appear on the display. This problem occurs on multiple images.I'm sure there are more settings that are relavent to solving the issue, but I can't think of any more right now.
