                 Eraser Tool
                 The Eraser Tool allows you to remove parts of an image or layer, creating transparency on layers with an alpha channel
                 or applying the background colour on flat layers. It’s useful for cleaning up images, refining edges, and correcting
                 artwork.
                 Perform the following steps to use the Eraser Tool:

                 Step 1:  Open an image in GIMP.
                 Step 2:  Select the Eraser Tool by either:
                         Click on Tools   Paint Tools   Eraser.
                         OR
                         Click on the Eraser Tool    in the Toolbox.

                         OR
                         Press Shift + E on the keyboard.
                 Step 3:  In the Tool Options below the Toolbox, adjust the eraser settings as needed:
                          ÐÐBrush Size: To control the size of the erased area.

                          ÐÐOpacity: For partial erasing, set a lower opacity.
                          ÐÐHardness: Adjust for either a crisp or soft edge.
                          ÐMode: Choose blending modes for different effects.
                 Step 4:  Click and drag over the image area you want to erase.

                                                                                      Multimedia Design Using GIMP   247
