Background erasing with photoshop CS5 I use the background eraser tool in photoshop CS5 but I have a problem: when the eraser hits a part of the image that I do not want to erase, how to retrieve that part that has been erased in error? Please reply by step-by-step instructions as I am a slow learner as a senior citizen. Many thanks in advance. Joe B. |
I presently only have very limited internet access and cannot answer you fully. I'm not sure which tool you are referring to. But most Photoshop tools have a sensitivity option (or Tolerance) and reducing or increasing the sensitivity might help prevent your issue, else feather the selected portion. The sensitivity/Tolerance option is usually on the left side in the horizontal bar. Edit: the Background Selection tool also has a Limit's option: Contiguous, Discontiguous, or Find Edges. There is also a Protect Foreground Layer option you will see. Another option might be to use that background selection and turn it into a mask so you can adjust the edges manually wherever you were finding an issue with it. I previously mentioned (last year or prior) about adjusting a mask's edges by selecting the masked layer and selecting the mask in the Channels tab, and using a white or black pen/paintbrush to add or subtract from the red or non-red masked selection. Then if you uncheck the eye for the mask & simply Windows-key click on the layer name it will then show the selection. |
I'm back on full internet connection (at least for now), so I'm wondering how you went with this? I had not used the Background Eraser Tool since I first tested out CS5 because it was a new tool for this version. I personally generally preferred using other methods, with exceptions. It's been 3-4 years since I last used this tool for anything substantial. |
