Need a tip - Eraser tool

Hello!

I've been using Illustrator for awhile now, but I'm not a professional. I use it mainly for the creation of newsletters, PDFs, certain vectors that export in Photoshop to create flyers and posters... But now I want to do something more practical.

I need to erase a part of the object (inside), so that the cleared area is a specific form. Is there a way to do that by, say, creating a predefined brush (if so, how?) or should I do something else? A click with the brush Eraser and then shaping the circle seems too complicated, and I guess that there is a simpler way to do it.

Just to be more precise - I want to be able, for example, to create a rectangular shape and then erase the inside shaped "bird" so that when putting it on on a different color background, the bird is different color. The thing is that I really need of the area 'bird' to erase and change the colors (as I usually do) wouldn't work this time.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Draw the 'internal' with any tool with which you are comfortable. Important is that the shape is surrounded by a path (to play with lines, brushes or effects or similar). Then select 'outside' (the rectangle or other) and the 'internal' and create a compound path (Cmd/Ctrl + 8)

  • Need to run out of the Eraser tool - reload

    At the same time in PS cs5, I could just grab the Eraser tool, the value of the 100% hardness and completely erase anything under the cursor. Now at 100% hardness I have to click on it like x 50 or more to completely erase whats under the cursor. This problem has been gradual, it seems. 2 weeks ago I could click 8 x in the same place and who would erase completely.

    It feels like I'm out of eraser. What is happening here? Is there a pref for this?

    Just right click on the Erasor and you should be good to go. He'll hit the Erasor settings to their default values.

    If this does not help, reset preferences should be more effective:

    Hold down the CTRL - Shift - Alt (Alt-Cmd-Shift) immediately after the cold Photoshop start.  If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

  • Magic - only partial Eraser tool erases

    I had to reinstall Photoshop (part of Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium CS6) as my PC is dead.

    Since - whenever I tried to use the Magic Eraser tool, I need to click on the part I want to clear about 10 times before it finally disappeared. Whenever I click on it, it loses a little more of the color, but it can be very difficult to see if the completely disappeared if I try to get a transparent background.

    I am sure that this has never happened before, and I don't see any setting that controls this. A search here and the internet was also futile (sorry if this is here).

    Any suggestions = it would save me a lot of time and ease my frustration.

    Thank you - lee

    Have you checked the setting opacity on the Magic Eraser?

  • My Eraser tool does not correctly work :(

    Please excuse my bad English, but this is not my first language.

    When editing images with photoshop, I normally create a curves layer to adjust the color and then use the top Eraser tool to erase parts of it where I don't want the effect curves to be seen (I don't know if that makes no sense). I mean, instead of use the selections to edit different parts of the image separatedly, I use the Eraser tool because I found that it works better for me if I erase the effect of the parts of the image where I don't want it to be.

    The thing is, this morning I just changed and it worked fine, and suddenly gum has stopped working on the curves layer. IF I create a new layer and draw a black line with my brush and try to delete it, it works. But it will not remove a portion of the curves layer.

    I looked on the Internet for solutions, and none of them worked. I made sure that the layer was not locked, I checked the opacity, reset the tool and photoshop itself, then reset the computer, and I don't know what else to do. I use photoshop CS4 in a PC.

    If someone could help me that would be very, very appreciated ():

    Thank you very much!!

    Hello, I think you need to reset the default colors by using the D"" key.

    In fact, you change the mask still, but you apply the colours in reverse order as if you were using the Brush tool.

    Another useful shortcut: X that will switch the foreground and background colors.

  • Eraser tool does not erase

    I can't make it work in my practice using the Eraser tool session.  Help, "Pour effacer to erase any object on the artboard, leave all unselected objects."

    It works - until I stop the drag of the mouse and release the button.  Then fill and paths bounce from invisibility instantly.

    GM, with Win 7 and HAVE cs5.

    Get it - I think.

    The Eraser tool works, but only paths that are filled, even if only partially.

    In addition, it does not at all with raster images.

    If true, the part of the aid, 'Clear objects using the Eraser tool' needs a bit of clarification.

  • Eraser tool numbers

    There is an eraser tool on the numbers? I am tring to set up a floor plan and you must edit the shapes I made.

    Thank you!!

    Hi morgalily,

    An "Eraser" applies only to images of card ("painting") bits. Images created in number are vector drawings, not images of 'painting '. The individual forms constituting the drawing may be deleted, have their proportions (proportions) have changed, or if the path with the tool "Feather", can have their forms edited, but they cannot be partially deleted.

    The image shows a form of rectangle (square), inserted into the button menu forms. This form of "fixed" has a limited set of manipulations that can be applied to change its size, the width in the colours of ratio, line and fill height and orientation. The lower form consists of two rectangles, jointed together. The boundary can be set to none, but may not be partially deleted in order to eliminate the vertical line where both forms are meet.

    The form at the top right is drawn using the tool pen in shape button menu. It was duplicated, then modified to produce the revised below form. Changing the shape is done by option clicking on the limits of the form to add a new control point, and then drag the control point to a new location. Three of the control points have been added to this form and moved to produce the new shape.

    Although it is possible to establish a floor plan, it is not the easiest of tasks to perform with precision in number. Examples above produce in Numbers ' 09.

  • Satellite L850 PSKDLA: need to upgrade Toshiba tools which have been removed before winning 8

    Help, please

    I bought 2 of these laptops for my boys to school. They came loaded with Windows 7, although I received an offer to update to Windows 8 for a special price I did.

    Doing this he taught me that there are conflicts with some programs I had to uninstall and reinstall later.

    The programs that I had to delete were:
    Toshiba Disc Creator
    Toshiba face recognition
    Toshiba Health Monitor
    Intel USB 3.0
    Extensible host control driver
    Toshiba LAN indicator
    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator

    Where can I find these programs to download? I have search Toshiba and entered in the model of the computer, but it does not recognize the last part of the model (PSK DLA).
    I just want to make sure that I'm downloading again the right programs.

    I am also now having a problem with the video playback after download of WIndows 8. I hear the sound but I get no image. This happens also on my HP laptop. I use the Radeon Graphics AMD (sorry, I know this goes to show that I have a computer with no idea).

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hello

    All drivers of Windows 8 are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.
    If some tools are missing, then it means that this tools don t exist to win 8 at this time.

    Regarding:
    > Toshiba Recovery Media Creator
    It is only part of the image of Toshiba. The recovery disk creator creates the image of preinstalled by Toshiba system recovery. If you have improved the system to Win 8, you will need to use other tools to create an image of the system.

    Here also a great documentation - Windows 8 Upgrade - Notes and Restrictions
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03EL0000R02.htm

    By the way: some drivers for Windows 7 are compatible with Win 8
    So, you can also install the Intel USB 3.0 driver released for Win 7 on laptop Windows 8 preinstalled.

    I'll have to get used to paint for the first time. After I selected a box with the tool delete, how to enable it? (I'm just stupid?)

    1. Firstly, while learning, work on copies of images, not the original image.

    2. After selecting the Eraser tool, go to the size to select the width of the eraser.

  • Impossible to install Vista SP2, says needs update of system tool

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit edition with Service Pack 1.  His ability to perform automatic and manual, updates have not completely.  When I try to update, it tells me that I need what is called a system update tool.  The Download Center Windows says I need Service Pack 2 to use this tool.  But when I tried to install Service Pack 2, it failed, saying he needs the system update tool.

    Then... I need Service Pack 2 to install the system update readiness tool, and I need the analysis of system update tool to install Service Pack 2?  Huh?

    The only other option I can find for this is to fix the "CBS Manifest" which is apparently corrupt.  To do this, I need to "repair Windows" using "Windows DVD.  But this computer comes with pre-installed Windows and did not come with a 'Windows DVD.

    Is there a solution to this problem?  Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.  I ran virus and malware scanners, are looking for things that can interfere with the update process, defragmented my hard drive and cleaned the registry.  What other options are available?

  • Learning of the Eraser tool

    I was whipping through the internet trying to find out how to resize the Eraser tool. It has different forms, but these formats are not nearly big enough. You would think that something so simple would be easy to understand. Can someone PLEASE just tell me how to increase the size of the eraser?

    If you zoom in on the scene using the magnifying glass, the gum will be greater when the scene is smaller.

  • Lower layer is affected by the Eraser tool when I'm working on a top layer

    Hello, I am a complete newbie to Adobe animate and am trying to learn to use the software. Currently, I'm trying to work on the animation of the beginner level and make a layer of Pochade, however, when I try to make the lineart, I noticed that the Eraser tool is erase my sketch layer, even if I am on another layer. Does anyone have an idea of what I can hurt? Thank you for your time.

    This is normal; you do not have something wrong.

    If you don't want certain layers to be affected by gum, just block them all first click in the lock column to the right of the layer name.  To lock all layers, you can click on the lock at the top icon.
