Photoshop - Set eraser to brush template?

Good day,

 

Is there a way to set the brush in Photoshop so that it has the same structures as the brush. Suppose I use a speckled brush, similarly I need an eraser that also erases speckled to make it look even? A heartfelt thank you! 🙂

Yeah, i see there are little Icons that automatically switch to the tool if i click them...in fact that i want to use this Brush as a Eraser...and swap them later again. 

 

I came from Affinity, and there you just need to choose eraser and then the Brush and the Eraser has the pattern of the Brush. 

 

 


These Brushes are specifically created to be used with a specific Tool – the creators of the Brushes decided this, not the Photoshop team, and you are free to create new Brushes based on those without »Include Tool Settings«. 

 

If you want to use them with another Tool select that Tool and cmd-alt-click the Brush in the Brushes Panel.

Ich meine natürlich den Radiergummi so einzustellen, dass er die Form vom Pinsel hat.

I keep forgetting the keyboard shortcut (using a non-english keyboard I cannot use it) but one alternative is changing the Blend Mode of the Brush Tool to »Clear«.

I have to apologize once. Little sleep sometimes causes mistakes.

 

About the thing: For example, I used a speckled brush. In order to use a corresponding eraser, it should also be speckled.

 

So I select the eraser tool and I have the texture brush. Find the right setting in the brush menu, but then it automatically switches to the brush tool.
