Question: Eraser Tool Problem: circles are only erasing 1/2 of the circle (CS6)

[johns98285554]

When I use the the eraser tool, only 1/2 of the circle is erased, the inner 1/2 circle of the circle   I've tried resetting the defaults, to no avail (that's presuming that I am resetting them properly)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

What is the brush hardness setting for the eraser and in Preferences > Cursor is your cursor set to full size (if so try setting to normal)

The hardness is 100%

The cursor is at:  Normal Brush Tip, Standard

Hi

You said you were not sure about resetting the tool ,. Try this:

You say the brush hardness is 100%, but what preset are you using?

Seeing as you have a continuing issue, I'd set the cursor to Full Size.  I work that way anyway, and with Show Crosshair turned on.  The latter is especially helpful when cloning, to make sure you are touching down in exactly the right position.

Are you using a Mac?

What operating system are you using?

Still getting 1/2 of the circle to erase

[johns98285554]

And, it's doing the same thing for cloning.

Yes I am using a Mac.

I tried to find the Systems Cursor to no avail.

I changed the cursor to Full Size Brush Tip and with Crosshair.

Still 1/2

Click on your desktop, then go to Apple>Preferences>Accessibility>Display and verify the Cursor size is set to Normal.
