can we please have the "Freehand Erase" (Area Eraser, Partial Eraser, or simply the standard Eraser) Tool?

I would like to know if this feature already exist?
I need the option to use the eraser like an actual physical eraser on a paper. To be able to use it to make detailed edits.
What we have now seems to do what an object eraser would do.

At the moment, that's not possible. I might add that feature in the future, but right now I'm working on improving the crop-rotate editor with the new "tilt" functionality.

If you need that feature urgently and want to implement it yourself, let me know, I can write a quick guide for you.

@hm21 Thank you very much! We really appreciate the prioritization of the feature and the amazing work with this project.
@edwarddubi Let's upgrade to newest version and try this feature out!

@hm21 thanks a lot! I'll check it out! appreciate it.

@hm21 I’ve integrated this feature and it works super good! I also made it optional by allowing users to choose between both the object and partial modes. However, it seems that eraserMode isn’t exposed on the paintEditor state.

Could you please add setter and getter methods for eraserMode? Additionally, is it possible to add instance variables/functions on the paintEditor state to increase the eraser’s Size?
This is my current implementation—if there’s a way to achieve this, please let me know. Thanks for this great tool!

Edit: I forgot to thank you for this awesome improvements.

@edwarddubi I really appreciate that you like this feature, and sorry for the late reply, I’ve been caught up with a bunch of other projects.

However, I’ve implemented the feature you requested in version 11.6.0 ;)

You can now read and update eraserMode and eraserRadius directly in the paint-editor without calling a separate method like setEraserMode. As example:

paintEditor.eraserRadius = 10;
paintEditor.eraserMode = EraserMode.partial;

@hm21 No worries! Wow, that’s awesome—thank you for the quick development. I’ll update the version and give it a try! :)
