Keeping and Removing Parts of the Picture

Use Flood Erase

 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

 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
