erasing
#3
Quote:Just started. I have an image on wich I paint. When I erase it goes through the whole image and becomes white. How should I erase something and keep my background intact ? I'm sure its easy, but I can't find.

It is easy, New to Gimp ? Check with the Gimp documentation first https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-tool-eraser.html ( https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/nl/gimp-tool-eraser.html )

Sometimes a picture helps

   

The erase tool shows white because (1) the background colour is set to white (2) the layer has no transparency, an alpha channel. Add one with Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha channel

The erase then shows a checker pattern which is a way of denoting transparency.

If you add a new transparent layer on top Layer -> New Layer and make sure the Fill With is set to Transparency, then you can paint and erase without problem.
