You can limit paint to interacting with only one color.įor example, you can limit the eraser tool to only work on the red line.

Invert ("xor): This setting works like the Intersect setting in reverse.If there is an active selection, only the areas that fall within both the active selection and the new selection will be selected. Otherwise, the selection will disappear as soon as the mouse button is released. Intersect: This setting will only function if there is an existing active selection in the document.Subtract: This option does the opposite of Add (union) mode, so it can be used to fine tune a selection by removing areas that have been accidentally included within the selected area.Zooming in and drawing small selections is generally easier and more accurate than trying to draw a selection in one go. This mode can be used to draw lots of small selections that will slowly combine to form a larger, more complex selection. Add (union): Any existing selections will remain active along with a newly drawn selection.
