Using eraser tools
Photoshop has three specialized erasing tools: the Eraser, Background Eraser,
and Magic Eraser. The Eraser paints with the background color; the Background
Eraser allows you erase pixels themselves, leaving only transparency; and the
Magic Eraser works like the Paint Bucket tool in reverse, removing pixels within
a bounded area.
The Eraser tool doesn't really erase: It simply paints using the background
color and this can look like erasure. The Eraser tool has three different modes—
you can erase using the pencil, brush, or fixed-size block. In the following steps
you'll erase any areas where paint went outside the lines.
