Hi everyone so all of a sudden my brush eraser stopped erasing the background all the way and needs several clicks to erase this, I tried resetting locked brushes and also switched the black and white mode but it's still very soft stroke , can someone please help me with this ? I am sharing an example of trying to erase the pink brush part below.

Thanks

Ok here it is ?


 

Your other image is not the Eraser tool either. Right-click the highlighted tool to show the hidden tools and select the one called "Eraser". You've found the options bar, so you're good there. 😊

Have you reset the Tool yet? 

What are the Opacity and Flow, is there any Pressure Sensitivity involved, …?

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Brush Settings, Options Bar, …) visible?
