my erase brush is not working correctly

[Mashburn]

Some areas I only have to go over once. While other areas I have to go over twice. and then some areas I have to make the brush size smaller and click on it like a mad man for it to finally be erased.

some areas are 100% erased. but a few spots it is like a soft transparency is still there. and I can see it when I move a background into the image.

so what am I doing wrong?

My help if I freaking mentioned this was Photoshop CC I am using.

sorry

Do you mean the eraser tool

?

Or perhaps one of the healing brushes

?

My first guess is if you're using the actual eraser tool is opacity is set to less than 100%. Or maybe you're working on a layer with less than 100% opacity? If you're using a healing brush or something else you may have it set to a mode that's not helping you.

More info would be helpful.
