| • | To erase an image area |
You can erase any part of your image with the Eraser tool or an Eraser brush. Corel Painter lets you fully customize the Eraser tool by using the property bar or the General panel. For example, on the property bar, you can adjust the width of the brushstrokes, control the opacity of erased areas, and select from a great variety of dab profiles. You can link opacity and size to stylus pressure or specify a fixed value. To learn more about the options that you can set on the General panel, see General controls.
You can choose a dab profile for a brushstroke with harder (left) or softer (right) edges.
