Tutorial on How to Use Background Eraser Tool in Photoshop CS4

Background eraser tool is more like advanced version of previously one. This tool can erase any part of the image as long they have similar color, but only in a specified radius. You can reduce / expand the radius just like when you adjust brush tip. I usually use Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] due their effectiveness.
Adjust the Background Eraser setting at option bar. You can make select the Limits as Discontiguous, Contiguous, or Find Edges. I usually use Find Edges because it more accurate in some images. You can also adjust the Tolerance value, the less its value means less color is considered as similar.
