GIMP Magic Eraser?

[sudoer541]

This may look silly, but where is the magic eraser tool on the GIMP?
I looked everywhere but I couldn't find it? :confused:

I am on GIMP 2.6 for Windows

[hhh]

GIMP doesn't have that tool. What are you trying to do?

I got this:

Sorry, the GeoCities web site you were trying to reach is no longer available.

[hhh]

Try again, both links work and neither is to geocities. One is to the GIMPUsers forum, the other is to ocaoimh.ie. I found them both on Google, you could try it from there if nothing else.

Oh, so it can't do everything PS can.

*gasp*
IT CAN'T?

You've forgotten: "and vice versa" :P

[hhh]

pwnst*r, Cam42, I'm not a GIMP or a PS expert but I'm pretty sure GIMP can emulate the magic eraser tool, you just have to use the magic color wand and make sure the layer has an alpha channel added. Plus it seems people have written plugins to come close to the PS tool. GIMP is an amazing piece of libre software and I don't get why Ubuntu Forum members are being snide about it. PS CS5 is an amazing piece of software, so buy it if you have US $700.
