Portable Eraser

[James Talbot]

Some days ago, my Affinity Photo's eraser tool started to act very strange were every time I try to erase something, I have to click several times to do so. It is like its opacity is set to 30 or so percent. But the opacity setting is at 100%.

It's important to recognize that the eraser is the Eraser Brush Tool, and therefore you should always go to the Brush panel and choose the brush you want, and check the brush settings in the Context Toolbar.

For example, when you start a session with Affinity Photo, if you Open an image, then choose the Eraser Brush Tool, you could just start erasing. But you have no idea what brush preset is being used, because it's left-over from the last time you used Photo. You need to choose the brush preset that you want to be erasing with. And you need to check the Context Toolbar after that.

It is up to the designer of the brush preset. Some brush presets are designed to work well with Wet Edges set on. Some are designed to work well with it set off. For those situations, the brush preset designer can say "turn Wet Edges on" (if it's best that way) or "turn Wet Edges off" (if it's best that way). But some brushes will work well either way, and it may depend on what the user wants. To accomodate that case, Affinity also allows the brush preset designer to say "leave Wet Edges alone", and when the user chooses that preset the setting will not change from what it was before.

I'm sure I used to be able to remove parts of a line for example in the old skitch, but can't find an eraser tool anywhere. I want to make a dashed line, but I can't see an option to create a dashed line, and now I can't find a way to remove parts of a solid line to make it dashed.

Please bring back the eraser! I must not be using Skitch much anymore since I just noticed it's missing, but now I have to look for another tool. I want to be able to use Skitch like a physical notepad--drawing and erasing at will!

Please explain in detail exactly how I remove one or all of the Skitch annotations I placed on a note. In addition since I must of misssed it, please refer me to some support page which also describes this convoluted process.

Removal of the eraser? What on earth were you thinking? I've just started using Skitch and assumed I was just missing something obvious in not being able to erase anything. It's a fundamental part, and when I'm trying to jot handwritten things alongside images and making a mistake deleting the entire section is not a viable option.

My advice to Evernote is download all these other snapshot utilities and see what they have got going for them and create something that will smoke all of them. Voila will be the one really to beat because it can do not only snapshots but also Video That can converted to vimeo HTML5 Videos which don't look fuzzy and out of focus.

My Photoshop CC is up to date, my Wacom driver is up to date, my Mac is up to date, I'm so confused. Why would one tool be slow and others not?? I have to press super hard with my pen to get the eraser to work, and even when it does it lags.

I have the same problem. Smoothing always off. So far I see only one solution - to stop using it at all... Is the any other options? Eraser works just fine in 2020 version, but there I have problem with a bold dot on the begining of strokes and pressure issues.

Did I miss somewhere that it mentions you have to click on and have the Tile Layer 1 highlighted in the layers panel, in order for it to erase anything??
Until you (I) figured that out, left or right clicking. The eraser doesn`t do anything. I can erase things now but just starting out it was a bit strange to have to do that. Or is this some strange anomaly?? I only had one layer working so I thought it was active to start.

Cool glad it helped, it is only rational to select a layer. When you have more then one working. But right out of the gate you only have one to start with. So I just assumed it was active, being the default layer. But now we know!!

Thanks, I am just starting out working with Tiled and was following a tutorial. He never started using the eraser until he added a few more objects on their own layers. I was just finagling around with a tile sheet getting the feel for the UI and shortcuts.
That`s when I noticed I could not erase anything ?? Rewinding his tutorial I noticed when he clicked on the second layer in the panel it darkened. I only had the default layer that was created when I made the map.

It was when I clicked on it that it highlighted and was able to use the eraser tool. Being a newbie I thought it weird to have to activate a default layer. I work with other software`s and anything default is normally ready to go to work.

Why does the eraser act like a paintbrush. I'm editing Minecraft textures for a map with custom resource pack and yet when I erase a pixel, it slightly erases any pixels near it, like the paintbrush tool. It's driving me insane, how do I stop it!?!?

I am having an incredibly frustrating problem on a 2020 ipad pro using a 2nd gen Apple Pencil. While I am drawing every 10 seconds or so the brush switches over to an eraser, promptly destroying what I am drawing, forcing me to constantly use the undo tool and change my brush back. I've disabled almost all touch/tap preferences and it is still happening. I am about ready to give up on Sketchbook.

I also have the iPad Pro 2020. Every time I swipe to undo it also sets the brush to eraser and it's quite irritating because it interrupts my drawing flow. HOWEVER, the problem is my finger rests on the flat edge of the pencil for comfort and control which means that every time I lift my fingers off the pencil to swipe the pencil registers a "double tap" when I re-grip the pencil. Got to the iPads settings --> Apple Pencil --> your chosen option. I'm willing to just turn it off while using Sketchbook.

I am new to Aseprite and still trying to find my way around things. But every time I right click with my pencil (which according to a video is supposed to activate the eraser) it colors it black. Additionally, whenever I select the eraser and left click to use it, it still draws in black. My background is set to mask. Do you know any way to fix this?

If you are working on a background layer (easily identified by checking for the underscore under the layer name) then the eraser will paint whatever color is selected in your background color box (the second color box in the lower left).

When I select the Layer from Background it only makes it erase in gray now. Do you know if there is a way to make the eraser erase in white while simply default painting? Does the same apply for backgrounds? I start my Sprite with the white background.

In top you can navigate to tools > scripts > ten brushes. There you can set your preferred eraser to number one. The shortcut displayed there will switch from current preset to this eraser and reverse way.
Those shortcuts can be changed as any other in settings > configure krita > keyboard shortcuts

For example, you can press the F5-Button to reach the Brush-Editor, the other way to reach the Brush-Editor is to click on the Toolbar-Button marked in the following screenshot - the one displaying the icon of the currently selected preset - on the left side of the Button with the 4 squares in it.

There is one particular alley in my city which is policed by a local little person on a scooter named Leticia. She sports a stylish short haircut, heavy makeup, and a shoulder bag with a large handmade pin which reads "I have narcan." She has to reach up above her head to the handlebars of her scooter, and she can dart the thing through traffic with breathtaking agility. I've seen her screaming at a guy to put his dirty needles in a sharps container instead of leaving them out on the sidewalk. Last time we ran into her she asked if we had any gloves. We went into our ambulance and gave her our last box. We figured she'd probably have more field saves than us by the end of the night anyway.

An opiate overdose kills you by first lulling you to sleep and then slowly suppressing your respiratory drive. You breathe ten times a minute, then eight, then four. You turn blue. Your breathing stops, your brain begins to die, and eventually your heart stops pumping.

It's pretty common in my city to have a dose of Narcan drawn up and rubber banded onto the rearview mirror of the ambulance. We keep the rest of our gear all the way in the back of the rig and we run so many overdoses that it's just easier to have the Narcan ready to go. We're lazy that way, I guess.

You remember Epi-pens? You probably knew a kid in your elementary school who had to keep one in his backpack in case he was attacked by a peanut. They make those for Narcan now, and they give them out at clinics and the needle exchange. It's a little plastic device which contains a single dose, quick-release Narcan shot and can be given with little or no training. They're all over the street.

Police carry them, social workers, other drug users. Often a patient will get far more than the recommended dose before we arrive, and we will step carefully through a pile of used heroin needles and Narcan packaging on our way to the patient. I've Narcan'd the same guy twice in a shift. Some days everyone is just dying and coming back left and right like junkie whack-a-mole.

What does it mean to drive around with an antidote? It's a strange feeling, knowing that there's an oops button on an overdose. We don't always get there in time. If you're by yourself, or if you took a particularly strong blend, or if your friends suck at calling 911, sometimes you die all the way. But a lot of the time, you die most of the way, and then we pop you full of magic eraser juice, and you come stumbling back from the edge.
