Esha Napoleon Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Just an suggestion.......Can there be an square eraser please??? Sometimes, when I do erase, being that its circular, doesn't matter the size, its harder for me to edge out the straight lines, especially the corners, leaving me with a "dent" in the pic.

pdnnoob Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 You can use the rectangle selection to select where you want to erase, then hit delete Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just so we're clear on the differences: The Eraser resets the Alpha channel* - the RGB color information persists (it just can't be seen). Selecting and deleting an area replaces the current RGB color information with #FFFFFF AND sets the Alpha channel to zero. So pixels are filled with #FFFFFF00 * Not always to zero. The Alpha setting is linked to that of the Primary color. Try this: Set Primary Alpha to 2 & Erase a solid color = erasing with soft edges!

pdnnoob Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Good point. If the alpha channel is needed, make your rectangle selection and erase with the eraser tool.

jim100361 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) You can use the rectangle selection to select where you want to erase, then hit delete I use a similar method when I want a square/rectangle area erased. When I've erased a portion, I then select within that space a rectanglular/square area and copy and then paste. Once the paste is done move it to another area and if need be, resize it. It's not an eraser per se, but it works equally well. EDIT: Here's an image of what I've described above: Edited September 2, 2012 by jim100361 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
