Keeping and Removing Parts of the Picture
to remove an evenly colored background. If the photo has a graduated background, such as a cloudy sky, use Flood Erase repeatedly, followed by cleaning with the Large Eraser
to remove remaining specks. Very detailed backgrounds with varied coloring, such as a street scene, are best removed with the Large
, Medium
and Small
Erasers.
If the face or hair are the same color as the background, Flood Erase may remove them as well. To prevent this, break the area into two parts with the Small Eraser
, then remove the part that you don’t want.

The face is the same color as the background, so Flood Erase removes part of it |

Two short lines drawn with the Eraser separate the face from the background, so it will no longer be removed |
