I just simpily :

1.  open a photo at PHOTOSHOP as background; then make a background copy for editing.

2.  work on the background copy with "eraser", no response at all.

3.  try erasing on the background itself, eraser hide wanted area in white, and just stop there, not erasing anything

 

Recently use a lot of "quck selection" and may have made some mistakes causing the present troubles. 

Any advanced user here if can help out, I apprecite it greatly.  

 

Thank you.

no erase happens ?!


I think you may be using the wrong tool for what you're trying to achieve, it looks like you're trying to remove the person on the step, perhaps you could explain what it is you're actually trying to do

Hi

Did you hide the background layer before working on the copied layer with the eraser tool
