In this GIMP tutorial, I show you how to fix the eraser tool not working when trying to erase objects, layers, images, etc. I cover the 5 most common issues that may be causing your eraser tool to not work properly, or not behave/work the way you want it to. By the end of this GIMP basics tutorial, you should have your eraser tool back up and running so you can properly erase anything in your images, documents, or designs.
