Steve I am still evaluating the Eraser. Some instances create a soft erase that is actually a mask simply hiding the objects underneath. The Eraser will perform a hard erase of a vector object or photograph.

The eraser is non destructive and you can use it on both vector objects, groups of objects, blends, and almost anything else, as well as bitmaps.
The Shape Builder Tool is very cool and I really love the Color Select/Erase. I was hoping my review would be posted by now but perhaps there are some technical issues to be sorted. I cover all this and all the other cool new features.
In the first image I cropped into a photo then added a cloud like vignette.
The Color Select/Erase can select and erase more than one color at a time and used with the new Soft Mask can select an existing color/range of colors and modify it or change the colors. It works best if there is a lot of contrast between the color selected and the colors protected.
In the third illustration I selected the Quail logo, added a Soft Mask and used the new Photo Tool > Set Photo Hue settings to create a range of color variations.

Cool, so far. In testing it out, is there a way to remove just a "Section" of the white background say in a cartoon character without removing the whites in the eyes as well? If not, the upgrade would seem ... not what I'd be looking for. Thanks!

rpc - You can also create some simple white shapes and send them behind the eyes.
