In this 33rd tutorial, we are going to learn about Magic Eraser Tool. This is one of the most basic tools in Adobe Photoshop for erasing pixels on a Photoshop Layer or object to transparent checkerboard the magical way. The magic eraser tool, like eraser tool and background eraser tool in Photoshop, offers destructive work flow. Once the pixels are erased, they are gone. It has different tolerance range options. With the help of Alt Click, we can sample pixels (color value etc) and then we can erase pixels within that range. Magic Eraser Tool does not use brush to erase pixel data. Instead, it just points and erases. One click is all that erases pixel data the destructive way. There is no going back.
The keyboard shortcut key for Magic Eraser tool is letter ‘E’.
