Erase

The Erase command is a retouching function for editing images. This function allows horizontal lines or areas to be replaced with an interpolation from the adjacent lines.

Select an image file from the file browsing window at the right of the main window. Double click the thumbnail image to select and open the image.

1. You can open the Erase view, shown in Figure 2, using one of the following methods: 
   • Right-click on the image name in the Workspace and select Add View > Erase from the popup menu. See Figure 1.

Or

• Right-click on a thumbnail in the Multiple Channel window and select Erase.

Or

• Select Modify > Erase from the menu bar.

Or

Click the Erase icon in the toolbar.

2. A separate window opens, also displaying the image. Right-click in the image to display the Erase options menu (see Figure 2). Select either Horizontal Line or Area and a check mark will appear. The option chosen will remain checked until another selection is made.

3. Click anywhere within the image to define a horizontal line, or click and drag in the image to define a box to be replaced.
4. Click the Execute button to perform the interpolation.

5. Right-click on an Erase feature of a modified image (either line or box) for options to complete the operation. Click Delete to erase the dashed construction lines from the display of the selected feature. Click Clear All to eliminate all construction lines from the display, while retaining the modifications to the image.
6. To eliminate all trace of Erase activity to an image, click the Reload button while the image is still open in the Erase panel.
