Use any photoshop brush as eraser
Here’s a little quickie that many people don’t think about.
If you like to use your current brush and erase with it, it’s annoying to have to switch to the eraser and then pick the same brush from the brushes palette, or create duplicate of all your brushes set to erase.
Just switch your brush blending mode to “Clear” and voila, now you’r erasing with your current brush. A quick shortcut to change brush blending mode to clear is control+shift+r and then control+shift+n to go back to normal mode. You can also flip through the blending modes with control+shift and then use plus and minus keys to scroll through the modes. This works with layer blend modes to, just make sure you have to move tool selected. (v)
