Why can't I discreetly erase one pixel? (SOLVED)

[scpedicini]

I'm getting a bit exasperated - I searched through every preset in the Erase tool and there doesn't seem to be one for click once, 100% erase the pixel in that location.

The best that I could was create a new preset called "Pixel" and change all the settings, but guess what?? If smoothing is on (even at 10%) it still leaves part of the pixel behind and slightly transparent.

Even worse, smoothing is *NOT* saved as part of the preset, instead it applies to every Erase preset, meaning that I constantly have to turn it on/off again depending on what Erase preset I'm using.

Additionally, even without Smoothing if I drag around, it still leaves part of the pixels behind. The shape of the pixel tool is also "circular" which doesn't seem correct either.



EDIT: MEIN GOD, I just realized its in the Pixel Paint Brush option under "Eraser Mode".

Great job, it's usually the simple things! And, thanks for marking that it's already solved.

Thanks for posting this and the solution. It seems counter intuitive that the eraser is the wrong tool for erasing.
