Eraser Strength

[Fortinbras]

Hey all,

This is my first post, here on the paint.net forums. I'm a long time paint.net user, and have used it a ton on my City of Heroes (ann mmorpg, yes I'm a nerd) website:

I have a quick question. Is there a way to change the 'strength' of the eraser. By strength, I mean, just erasing it slightly...sort of blending it. I'm trying to blur the edge of a layer while, at the same time maintaining the crispness of the layer itself. I just want to fade the edges using a tool (by hand), and not some effect that affects the whole image.

Thank you, in advance...

Select all, then use Boltbait's feather plugin.

Two posts below this one the same question was asked: Eraser Opacity. In the replies, Mike Ryan spake thus:

Change the alpha level of your secondary color.

He means that the opacity of the eraser tool is linked to the transparency of the secondary color. Simply lowering the Transparency-Alpha level in the expanded color window has the effect of lowering the erasers severity.
