&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I have an image with black background and white foreground.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am inverting the image and then using the Descartes erase tool.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This was leaving black squares on the image because the background color is black and the erase tool paints the erased block with the background color. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
