Erasing


    The eraser, background eraser, and magic eraser tools let you erase areas of an image to transparency. The eraser tool also lets you erase to the background color in a Background layer or a layer with locked transparency. You can use the background eraser and magic eraser tools to erase a Background layer to transparency and convert it to a regular layer.

    You can also use the Auto Erase option with the pencil tool to erase the foreground color to the background color as you paint, unless the area does not contain the foreground color. In that case the area is painted with the foreground color.
