Eraser

PixEdit offers many different ways of erasing parts of the loaded image. You may select an area by using any of the available selection tools, and then use IMAGE, DELETE INSIDE or OUTSIDE commands. You can also insert guide lines and perform ,ultipage erasures. However, the most convenient way of erasing parts of a single page is to use the eraser tool.

Freehand, rectangular and polygonal erasures are available. The rectangular and polygonal eraser tool can also be used to delete the content outside the defined area by checking the "Delete Outside" option. The pen thickness and pen shape of the freehand eraser tool may also be configured.

Freehand Eraser To erase freehand in the active layer, click on the Freehand Eraser tool on the Toolbar and start digitizing. Both shape and size of the tool can be configured.

Rectangular Eraser Select the Rectangular Eraser icon on the Toolbar and move the cursor to a location for anchoring the area to be erased. Click the mouse button and move the mouse. A rubberband box stretches from an anchor point to the mouse position, expanding and contracting as the mouse is moved. When the desired location and size are reached, click the mouse button again to execute the erasure. You can terminate the digitizing process by clicking the right mouse button.

Polygonal Eraser The Polygonal Eraser tool lets you erase parts of your drawing that may be difficult to reach with Freehand Eraser or the Rectangular Eraser. Select the Polygonal Eraser icon and move the cursor to a location for anchoring the area to be erased. Continue to digitize, enclosing the area to be erased. To close the area and execute the erasure, double click the mouse button. During digitizing, you may choose between defining the area to be erased by digitizing only each vertex of the polygon, or by using the freehand-draw technique of holding down the left mouse button and moving the cursor. Close the activated area by double clicking.
