Eraser Stopped Working
|
4 hours ago
I've been erasing the background on an image (saving frequently) but then out of nowhere the eraser stopped working. I can still change the brushes, sizes, opacity, etc., but it doesn't erase. On the toolbox under Eraser the Mode says Normal and I can't change that, but I'm so new I don't know if that's typical or not. Since I shut down and came back to working on it, is there a history I can go back to and pick up from there? Thanks!

Post a screenshot showing the eraser toolbox settings / layers ....maybe the layer has been locked. ...but first look at the eraser cursor Does it have a little minus sign against it ? Is the eraser in anti-erase mode ?

Also the eraser tool is now an oval but when I hit the circle brush it didn't change. How do I get it back to the default circle?
OK, not anti-erase then.
From your screenshot: The brush aspect ratio is set to -5.00 which is oval. Click on the little circular arrow icon to reset to zero. The eraser opacity is 78.2 so only partial erase. drag the slider back to 100 Do you have more than one layer ? Are you on the correct layer ? Then if still not erasing Check the Layer dock and the lock pixels toggle. If the intent is to erase a background from an image, a better way is use a layer mask (white) then paint in black to hide (erase) white to show. Save in xcf format retains the layer mask for future edits. |
