Trimming w/pixel brushes

Is there a way to trim lines using Pixel brushes? This only works with vector brushes. If I tried to trim with pixel brushes using the eraser tools, it looks awful. Any tips? Thanks

Trimming will only work with vectors, for pixel brushes you need to simply erase them (with the modifier while the brush is active, or the eraser tool). The trimming uses the vector nodes as a guide to where to trim, whereas pixel brushes are just pixels with no interaction between one another.

Can you include an image of the differences?

A pixel brush will work with the pixels, therefore most likely not looking as neat as a Vector which plots a line from point A to point B.

When I think of trimming (Photoshop) it is used to cut the edges off, is that how you're using it in your request? If so you could probably crop the canvas size down to the point you want to clean things up.
