Switch Between Tools and Eraser

Experiencing unexpected switches to the eraser tool can be a minor, yet common occurrence. Fortunately, this is easily manageable by adjusting a few settings on your device and within the app.

  1. First, open your device Settings app.
  2. On the left sidebar, scroll to Apple Pencil and tap it.
  3. Under Actions select Double Tap.

If the option to Switch Between Current Tool and Eraser is enabled, double tapping your Apple Pencil point will toggle between your chosen brush/texture/fill and the eraser tool while you’re working. For some users, simply being aware of this feature solves the issue. Others might prefer selecting a different setting to prevent accidental switches.

Additionally, check the app settings for further customization. In Pigment open a page to color > tap the sliders icon (top left corner next to the X) > Gestures & Pencil. Here, you’ll find options to toggle ON or OFF Enable Two-Finger Undo and Only color with Apple Pencil. Adjusting these settings can enhance your coloring experience and reduce unwanted tool changes.

With these tweaks, you should have a smoother and more enjoyable time using the app.
