    Thank you so much, Wendy, for your detailed and well-organized tutorial. It did help me realize how the Gimp Eraser does her magic and get started with her the way she works. Before watching your tutorial, the Gimp Eraser had been a formidable puzzle to me for years.

    Thank you for making it easier. I already knew most of the main reasons, layers selection etc, I finally got to where you said "change the hardness". I dont know why, but changing hardness from 95% to 100% got my eraser to finally work, after lots and lots of trying. Much appreciated.

    The erasor works fine for me as I always change a setting in Gimp so that an alpha channel in always added for me automatically. in Edit - Preferences ,Image Import and export, I ticked the "add alpha channel to imported images" so I dont have to do it myself

    Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I found something interesting that fixed my problem in a different way. After trying all the tips you presented, my eraser still would not erase. I had an alpha chennel, and checked everything else you mentioned. It still wouldn't work. Then I did something by experimentation, and it made my erase work. I went to "Layer" > "Transparency" and selected either "Alpha to selection" or "Add to selection", I can't remember which one. After clicking on one of these two, my eraser started working. I tried to go back and tried to isolate which of the two made it work, whether "Alpha to selection" or "Add to selection". But I could not recreate the fix. So I still don't know which of the two options made my eraser work. Maybe you can figure it out. It may be helpful to some viewers. Thanks again for you video. Keep up the great work!

    It's a good tutorial, but it would be even better if you could do the photo from the beginning before editing it to the end, doing it step by step, so that everyone who is a beginner can follow it.
