Working with the Magic Eraser Tool

The Magic Eraser tool functions the same way the Magic Wand selection tool functions, except instead of selecting an area it erases it. The Magic Eraser tool works on any traditional Photoshop layer, including the Background. Clicking with the Magic Eraser tool converts image pixels into transparent pixels. Since the Background layer does not support transparency, using the Magic Eraser tool causes Photoshop to convert the Background into a traditional layer.

Work with the Magic Eraser Tool

Select the

Eraser tool on the toolbox.

Enter a Tolerance percentage value (0 to 255). The higher the value the greater the range the Magic Eraser erases.

Select the

Anti-alias check box to create a visually softer eraser (useful when dealing with intensely rounded or curved selections).

Select the

Contiguous check box to select adjacent pixels within the active document.

Select the

Sample All Layers check box to sample image information from all layers (Photoshop treats the visual image as a composite).

Click within the active document.

The Magic Eraser tool, depending on options, samples the pixel directly under the tool and uses that to create a range for erasing image information.
