Is there a brush you love that has the properties you’d love for an eraser? Use Transparent Color to transform any brush into an eraser.

In the image below, the artist used a special brush shaped like a clump of grass. In the left image, she used it to create the grass. Then, she selected Transparent Color, making an eraser of the same shape. In the right, she subtracted from the image using this clump of grass transparent ink “eraser”, instead of drawing more.

Transparent color is found in the Color Editor. It transforms your brush into an eraser with the characteristic of the chosen brush. If the selected brush is pressure-sensitive and creates a stroke that fades off, your eraser will do the same. Use it to erase existing color pixels on the current layer.
