NEW! Remove Tool: Brush + Lasso interaction & more!
Remove Tool: Brush + Lasso
Introducing a new interaction for the Remove Tool; brush a closed loop around the element you want to make disappear. The benefit of this simplified interaction is it takes less time and is less error-prone than brushing large objects.
Simply encircle the object they want to remove instead of brushing over the object.
There are no special settings or UI regarding this interaction.
Start: Select the Remove Tool in the toolbar.
- Brush the perimeter of the object/area you want to remove.
- You do not need to fully connect the endpoints.
- Any content under the brush and within the loop will be removed.
- Mouse/Pen-up.
or click the Apply (checkmark) button in the options bar if multi-stroke is enabled.
- Notice the overlay area fills in automatically.
- This interaction can be used with multi-stroke (Remove after each stroke checkbox) ON or OFF.
Remove Tool: Subtract brushing (Multi-stroke Mode)
Based on your feedback, we've added the ability to subtract/add to the overlay! There is now explicit addition (+) and subtraction (–) modes for the Remove Tool brush.
To utilize addition (+) and subtraction (–) modes:
1. uncheck the [ ] Remove after each stroke option in the Tool Options Bar so that you are in multiple stroke mode.
2. Make a brush stroke to identify an area for removal.
3. Click on the subtraction mode (–) button in the tool options bar to change the tool mode. The standard alt/opt keyboard shortcuts are also available.
