 * 5) Select the Sample All Layers check box to sample image information from all layers.

 * 9) Contiguous – Restricts the Eraser tool to the selected color range, without moving outside the originally sampled area.
 * 10) Find Edges – Looks for a shift in color range and attempts to erase to the visual edge of the image.
 * 11) Select a Tolerance percentage value (1% to 100%). The higher the tolerance, the greater the range.
