Painting in the background color with the Eraser tool
Paint with the background color using the Eraser tool. If a paint object has a visibility mask, the
Eraser clears the pixels it touches, revealing a clear background. If the paint object does not have a
visibility mask, the Eraser applies the background color.
Opacity and paint mode options are not available with the Eraser.
Painting with the Blend tool
Paint a blend of colors in an image with the Blend tool. The default behavior (Foreground To
Background) creates a blend of the foreground and background colors. This tool is very useful for
creating blends from black to white in channels, to make selection masks that fade gradually from full
selection to no selection.
Linear blend Radial blend
Set the style and behavior using the settings in the Properties bar.
