Using the Eraser Tool in Photoshop

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Gary for Expert Village. Now that we've changed the blending mode in the image in the color that we applied, we a changed it to a color blending mode, which basically means that only the lower the, the lower layer is going to be affected. So therefore it leaves just a kind of a blue tint over the entire image. Now let's go ahead and start erasing the area that we want to remove, this color blue. So for that we're going to use the eraser tool which is found in your tool box. It looks a pretty much like a square eraser and we're going to click on that. The way the eraser tool works is that it's going to erase areas of our image only when the white foreground color is selected. When we have white in our foreground that will cause the eraser tool to erase areas of the, of the colored layer, and if we want to add in the color of the layer to the, to the image we just go ahead and switch our colors and when the black color is in the foreground the same eraser tool is going to actually put in the color to the layer. Basically we're, we're creating areas of the layer that are going to appear on the image so the black adds in the color of the layer so that color will appear in the image. And if there's a white foreground color then the eraser tool will take away areas of the color in the image. And we'll go ahead and see that now."
