Eraser option

[SharLamb]

I just discovered this little help in PSE 8 (don't know if it was in earlier versions or in CS): When you select the eraser tool, a little box appears on the tool bar (?) across the top. It is "Mode." If you click the down arrow, it will give you the option of erasing with a square "block." There are just times when you need a square for erasing, so I have always gone to the brushes, and chosen a square one. Now, I discover, I needn't have done that. I'm almost looking forward to erasing something now!!!

Well, DUH! Where have I been???? Did you all know about this and were hiding it from me? HMMMMMMM.....just staying up nights thinking of ways to make my work harder??? hhhhmmmmm????

It's funny how you bump into these things isn't it? Good to know. I rarely use the eraser tool because I use masks so much. Hopefully when I do use it, I'll remember it! I know I've learned more than I remember. Fun, fun, fun.

What a GREAT tip, Shar!! I too have had to go to the square brushes to get one before! THANKS SO MUCH!

Thank you. I use the square brushes often; I'll try this new tip.....new to me, at least!
