Eraser

[ChrisNewert]

There should be a eraser tool. Especially for a paid program.

I haven't got affinity on at the mo (I'm on a windows comp) - but isn't it in the pixel persona?

This is being discussed here..

What I didn't realize until just now trying this, is that if you create a shape in vector persona, then switch to pixel persona and use the eraser tool to erase away areas of your vector shape, instead of erasing it creates a pixel mask that works with the vector information - see attached. This means instead of erasing your vector shape permanently you are able to move either the mask around or the vector shape after the fact... this could have some possibilities... I tried a softer brush on the eraser here as well. 

 

There is also the erase blend mode which I have used and it works as you'd think it should. 

 

I think I would still like a true vector eraser tool but these current features are pretty cool.

 

(edit: guess I should have re-read that earlier eraser post before posting this reply... oh well, it's all good info worth repeating)

:) I had forgotten about the earlier post, too, but I hadn't cottoned on to the mask layer - what a lot of flexibility that provides!
