Works basically the same way as a regular pen, but you instead draw and erase selections. These two are under the other selection tools. * what you can also do is that if the selections are not fine enough for you, use the Select Pen and Eraser Pen to refine the edges of these selections.

Your select tool cursor will have a little plus under it to indicate this. You can also use the Magic Wand first, then the other selection tools, but what helps is pressing Shift to add to the selection. * the magic pen is usually not a good tool for this, especially if this area is a traditional drawing scan (lots of different-colored pixels, so even with the tolerance higher, hard to get an exact area) so what I usually do is use the Lasso tool or even the Select tool (Polygon), to get a general area. So I assume you mean that you want to just cut out parts of a picture and make it transparent. * you’re trying to crop things out - usually cropping means cutting off an excess part, but in digital graphics this more exact - an image can be cropped to exclude some frame or outer parts, but not the inside of it. Hi! Ok, so I want to clear some things up before I properly answer: Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to do this maybe? I've tried messing with the tolerance but haven't had any real success. And I always try the magic pen tool to just select what I want to and then just delete everything else but it never really works and I always end up just going in and erasing stuff manually. Sometime I'll be in Firealpaca trying to just crop the white space or shadows out of a picture so I can make it transparent.

I’m very sorry for getting to you this late! Tumblr continues to not show me asks, but I’ve also been offline from tumblr in general. In that case this “tone” option becomes useful. So I guess this is just used for when you have a colorful pattern, lets say a pattern of leaves or flowers for example, and even though you mostly use them inside color illustrations, maybe some other time you will need a single color variant or a black and white version, just to tone the backgorund of a comic or something (but you don’t want to switch your color swatch). I made an example with a bigger colorful image so you can see the differences clearly: I am guessing this is for brushes which have more color variety in them originally, to make the brush act more like a black and white pattern rather than just any image with various color data. So far it seems that the only thing “Tone” does is make the brush black-and-white, over-riding even the “use foreground color” option when in both are checked in the brush options. I tried looking up if anyone has posted or talked about this online, but seems that people don’t use the Pattern type brushes as much. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly, but since the the word “tone” is usually related to how shading is done.

Hi, i hope this isn't a dumb question but whenever you make a brush say like, a pattern type, what does the 'tone' option mean, or what type of effect does it create on the brush compared to a pattern brush without the tone? thanks much!
