Turning a brush into an eraser (Transparent Color)

Jump to Mobile

Transparent color transforms the active brush into an eraser with the properties of the brush.

So for example, if the active brush is pressure-sensitive and creates a stroke that fades off, as an eraser it will do the same. Use it to erase existing color on the current layer.
