So I made a layer that has white contents, then clicked "Lock transparent pixels" I then proceeded to use the eraser to remove some of the white areas which is to be replaces with a different color.
What I didn't realize is that erasing on a layer locked like that replaces the erased parts with a gray color and doesn't actually make it transparent. Now how can I select this gray erased area to replace it with a diff. color?
You have to disable transparency lock!!
You enabled transparency lock when you locked it via Layer - Lock - Transparency!! so when your layer has transparency lock then your eraser instead of erasing pixels it'll act like brush and will use "Background Color" as fill color so to make your layer erasable just uncheck transparency lock icon!
So If you want to delete pixels you have to remove Transparency lock and instead of it you can use Position Lock which in next to transparency Lock icon!! Cheers!
