In PS7, record a preset for the eraser using the pencil with the brush size and
shape you want. Then record another preset for the eraser using the brush and
brush size you want. Switch back and forth using the presets palette by clicking
the choices.

If you want, you can record Tool Preset choices as actions. Once recorded as an
action, it can be assigned to a keystroke. If you have a keystroke for each Tool
Preset you use, you can effective switch back and forth to exact parameters by
pressing assigned shortcut keys on your keyboard.

In my opinion, Presets was one of the most useful developments in PS7!

OK?
