dizeyner Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Im using affinity designer and I can't figure out where the eraser tool is. I have an image pasted on one of my layers and I want to be able to erase a portion of the image.also, In photoshop you can use a free form lasso to select part of an area and then delete it. I cant figure out how to do that in Affinity designer. Ricky James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler To Cats Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 By default Affinity Designer works in vector mode (Draw Persona). To get your normal image tools, change to Pixel Persona (although keep in mind that at heart AD is a vector design program with raster features, Affinity Photo might be a better match for image manipulation features).

The feature is very basic, not reliable, you have to be erase "only" what the app allows you to erase, not what you really want to erase! Still very old fashioned not having vector eraser! Please have a look at the vector eraser in Clip Studio Paint, Its really amazing, very helpful and allows fast drawing and then remove any unwanted parts of the line, not only segments between nodes.

user_0815 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Draw with the vector brush and set it's blend mode to erase. If you have a lot to erase, make a group and set only the group to erase. That way, every new curve within the group will erase (without having to set each curve indivudally to erase). erase.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabdo Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thanks friends for the interest and for all replays. What I'm looking for is the impressive way of Clip Studio Paint eraser tool. Please have a look at the video below to see how fast, easy, effective and helpful it works. Affinity Designer is really cool app, I hope the good people behind it think in making the eraser works better> Regards to all of you.
