Remove Item by Removing Layer¶
If you save items on separate layers, you'll only need to remove a layer to remove the items from that layer.
The following shows an example of how this would be done.
-
Create a layer that's blank or import a file to a layer.
-
-
Select the layer in the Layers window (it'll be selected if you just added the objects to the layer).
-
Select Delete Layer from the Layers window.
The following shows the result of deleting layer 2 in the example above.
Remove Item With Eraser Tool¶
The eraser tool is ideal for removing a very small portion of an image or to do a touch up on a photo.
- Select Eraser from the Tools menu.
- Select the desired brush width (1-55) in the Tools Settings Bar.
- Click to erase and drag the Eraser onto the workspace to erase any part of the image, removing the item.
