Choose a Limits mode for erasing: Discontiguous to erase the sampled color wherever it occurs under the brush; Contiguous to erase
areas that contain the sampled color and are connected to one another; and Find Edges to erase connected areas containing the
sampled color while better preserving the sharpness of shape edges.
For Tolerance, enter a value or drag the slider. A low tolerance limits erasure to areas that are very similar to the sampled color. A high
tolerance erases a broader range of colors.
Select Protect Foreground Color to prevent the erasure of areas that match the foreground color in the toolbox.
Choose a Sampling option: Continuous to sample colors continuously as you drag; Once to erase only areas containing the color you
first click; and Background Swatch to erase only areas containing the current background color.
5. Drag through the area you want to erase. The Background Eraser tool pointer appears as a brush shape with a cross hair indicating the
tool’s hot spot .
Auto Erase with the Pencil tool

1. Specify foreground and background colors.
2. Select the Pencil tool .
3. Select Auto Erase in the options bar.
4. Drag over the image.
If the center of the cursor is over the foreground color when you begin dragging, the area is erased to the background color. If the center of
the cursor is over an area that doesn’t contain the foreground color when you begin dragging, the area is painted with the foreground color.
