Eraser

Erase pixels on raster brush layers or whole strokes on vector drawing layers.

What it does

On a raster brush layer, dragging erases pixels. On a vector drawing layer, dragging across strokes deletes them. Select the drawing layer first; the eraser only works on a layer that already has a drawing.
