lillithtauri Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi, I Need help. A few days ago my eraser tool changed the look and now I can't properly erase bits and pieces I don't Need for my artwork. The tool now Looks a bit like a Perforator and it does not erase well, Looks a bit like a Helix. I attached a screenshot. I tried to install Affinity new but the Problem did not go away. 1_eraser.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The tool is named "Erase Brush Tool," so my guess is you have set it to use something other than a basic round brush.

lillithtauri Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 not that I know of. As you can guess I'm not the best in using Affinity so I have no clue how I could have done that. Have you a tip for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Callum Posted May 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 25, 2019 Please could you try selecting the Erase Brush then go to View > Show Context Tool Bar. This should make a new bar appear towards the top of the screen please could you take a screenshot of that and send it to me?

Alfred Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 3 minutes ago, Callum said: take a screenshot Ideally, upload the screenshot as a PNG or JPG image rather than an ODT file. If you’re not sure how to do that, tell us your operating system and someone will explain the procedure.

Staff Callum Posted May 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thank you for the screenshot Please could you try selecting the Basic brush category and then select one of the brushes shown in there. When you now use the Erase Tool does it look how it used to? C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
