I've just scanned one of my artwork at 200dpi... I've just set its levels and now I was going to clean it up but when I'm using the eraser instead of erasing my lines what I'm getting is a layer of small squares (colored Grey and White). Why, what can I do to erase ONLY my unwanted lines instead of erasing also the white of my drawing???? Help me I need your help urgent!!!! Thanks by the way! -_-

there are other tools besides the eraser... you could you the healing brush and blend in what you want to get rid of.... or the clone stamp... there are SOOOO many ways to fix it... i have been working with photoshop in school since september nonstop... just keep playing and experimenting and you should get your answer

Don't worry about the grey and white squares. They represent the "phantom" space behind the image.
The squares will not print.
But, if they still make you uncomfortable, Do a "Select All," then "Copy," and then "Paste. It will make a duplicate of your drawing in a new layer, "floating" above the original layer.
Then select the bottom, or "background" layer in the layers pallette. In the right hand square where you select the background color, select white. Do a "Select All," again. Then in the Edit menu, click on "Fill" and select "Background Color." This should turn the bottom layer all white, so that when you erase the lines from the top layer, it will expose, only, the white of the bottom layer.

click and hold on the eraser tool- yours must be set to "background eraser tool", which leaves the grey and white grid.
Change the eraser to "eraser tool" and it will act normal.

have a look at the bottom right of the screen and if you haven't merged all your layers yet, you should be able to edit just the layer that needs the alterations done by highlighting that one. I believe the gr/wht check squares will be you r base as you haven't chosen a background colour/image as a base.

do not use the magic wand in this instance use the eraser tool and that way you can erase only what you want
