Adobe Photoshop 6 Question

[Legendary]

Is there any way to use the eraser to erase a certain color, but no other color? Say I had something, outlined in a thin line of white, is there anyway I could delete the white without actually deleting the object? Thanks.

Welcome to the forums! 🙂
But this should probably be posted in the Software Forum

As for the question, I have no idea

I don't think you can specify a color for eraser to erase, but in your case with the white outlines just use a seperate layer for it so you can delete the white outline layer if you want to get rid of it only.

There are lots of ways to do that. One of the easier ways is to use the clone tool to clone certain parts of the image and paint right over the parts that you want erased. For example, if you have a background that's filled with grass but on one area, there's a dog poop and you want to erase that poop, you would take the clone tool, hold down alt to define what area of the image you want to clone (in this case, a part of grass) and then start drawing over that poop. That will write over the dog poop with the grassy area that you defined to clone. Another example of some other technique is to use the dodge or burn tool to burn or dodge an area with a certain threshold level. This requires trial and error. Another way to change a certain color within a whole image (like change all the reds in this image to yellow or change it slightly etc.) is to use the selective color tool.

Basically there's almost an infinite amount of ways to do something in PS so learn everything about photoshop and use that head of yours. I've been doing photoshop for 8 years and it pays me $50 an hour : )

thanks, but I ended up doing it pixel...by...pixel...definitely not fun times.

You could also do something like this......

1. Use ( Ctrl & + ) to zoom in on the photo.

2. Use the magic wand and clicl on the color that you drew.

3. At the top select the (select tab) then look for the option (Similar). This will select the
entire color useing the ( shift or Alt key will also allow you to add or to take away from
the selected area defined.

4. Now you can change the color, copy, move what ever you want to do.

5. I find it better to use a layer, it can be transparent, but will allow you to go back and forth to make changes with ease.
