I've done some tedious work in isolating an object in a photo using PHD7 erase tool on a layer, but I see I erased too much in one spot. Tell me it isn't true that there is no way to undo an erased area without starting all over. Every other feature as a tool to brush over areas to undo the wrong erase work.

I certainly can't find it in the module, nor in any manual, tutorial, etc. Tell me I'm wrong, please. Bill Seifert

Hello Bill,

I know you've pleaded for members not to tell you this, but there's no option to unerase in the Layers module

In many other areas of PhD, an erased or modified section can be "brought back" be reversing the tool & brushing it back in. That's not the case in Layers. Sorry.

In the screenshot some stray grains of sand needed to be erased from the border. The only option to unerase was the Undo button. I'm fairly sure that would be next to useless in your current project!

How could you have told me such terrible news? I wonder if this was oversight, or a tough technical job that the put off for the next update. Sigh. Thanks.

(I'm still struggling with the inability to invoke PHD7 more than once on a photo in PD14. Tech support is responding, but every time I do, there is more work for me. An endless process. I suspect permissions have changed for some crazy reason, but I don't know where all the pieces-parts are that I should look for. Even then, I'm not sure what parameters should be corrected.)
