More explanation: I am creating a new image from pasting images as layers and editing them. I paste then erase parts. I can do this 10 or 20 time when for some reason the eraser does nothing. In doesn't erase the pasted layer or the background it has no effect at all. I'm wondering if it's a memory problem? -- kickoff3pm (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

If the layer you are trying to erase on has no alpha channel, then the eraser will paint in the background color instead of making the pixels transparent. Could it be your problem, by any chance? Another thing I can think of: do you have several layer and are you erasing the right one? Again: would you have an active selection and you try to erase outside of the selection? Go in menu: "Select" > "None". If not one of these, please could you explain what you mean by "the eraser stops working". What is happening when you try to erase? We need more details to not have to guess what you are experiencing.

[Gimp-user] Eraser not working
Hello everyone, I've not been using Gimp for long and I only really use it for creating Facebook headers. I often copy in other images as a layer and then erase part of the copied image. My problem is after a few times doing this the eraser stops working and I can't see a way around it. I've deleted and started again with the layer and close and reopened the file. But once I get to this point I can't erase anything. Is this a bug or have I done something wrong? -- kickoff3pm (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
