Eraser in Canvas HTML 5

I create a paint application using HTML5 canvas. I do use a background image. But with eraser. When I delete it, the next image is also deleted. Who can help me?

This HTML : 

<form>
    <div>
        <label for="pencil">Pencil</label>
        <input id="pencil" type="radio" name="tool" value="pencil" checked>
    </div>

    <div>
        <label for="eraser">Eraser</label>
        <input id="eraser" type="radio" name="tool" value="eraser">
    </div>
</form>

<div id="sketch">
    <canvas id="paint"></canvas>
</div>

And Javascript:

    (function() {

    var canvas = document.querySelector('#paint');
    var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

    var sketch = document.querySelector('#sketch');
    var sketch_style = getComputedStyle(sketch);
    canvas.width = parseInt(sketch_style.getPropertyValue('width'));
    canvas.height = parseInt(sketch_style.getPropertyValue('height'));


    // draw image
    var img = new Image();
    img.src = 'http://cssdeck.com/uploads/media/items/3/3yiC6Yq.jpg';
    canvas.width = img.width;
    canvas.height = img.height;
    ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);


    // Determine Tool
    var tool = 'pencil';
    document.querySelector('#pencil').onchange = function() {
        if (this.checked)
            tool = 'pencil';

        // Show Tmp Canvas
        tmp_canvas.style.display = 'block';
    };
    document.querySelector('#eraser').onchange = function() {
        if (this.checked)
            tool = 'eraser';

        // Hide Tmp Canvas
        tmp_canvas.style.display = 'none';
    };


    // Creating a tmp canvas
    var tmp_canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
    var tmp_ctx = tmp_canvas.getContext('2d');
    tmp_canvas.id = 'tmp_canvas';
    tmp_canvas.width = canvas.width;
    tmp_canvas.height = canvas.height;

    sketch.appendChild(tmp_canvas);

    var mouse = {x: 0, y: 0};
    var last_mouse = {x: 0, y: 0};

    // Pencil Points
    var ppts = [];

    /* Mouse Capturing Work */
    tmp_canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
        mouse.x = typeof e.offsetX !== 'undefined' ? e.offsetX : e.layerX;

        mouse.y = typeof e.offsetY !== 'undefined' ? e.offsetY : e.layerY;
    }, false);


    /* Drawing on Paint App */
    tmp_ctx.lineWidth = 5;
    tmp_ctx.lineJoin = 'round';
    tmp_ctx.lineCap = 'round';
    tmp_ctx.strokeStyle = 'blue';

        ppts.push({x: mouse.x, y: mouse.y});

        onPaint();
    }, false);

    tmp_canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', function() {
        tmp_canvas.removeEventListener('mousemove', onPaint, false);

        ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'source-over';

        // Writing down to real canvas now

  1. Create two canvas elements with different IDs. For this example, let's call the first canvas (or bottom layer) 'background' and the second canvas (or top layer) 'sketchpad':

  2. Use CSS to position one directly over the other. Remember to specify z-values and make 'sketchpad' element a higher value. You can search StackOverflow if you need help completing this step.

  3. Draw your background image onto the 'background' canvas. Here is some sample code:

    // specify background canvas element bgCanvas = document.getElementbyId('background'); // specify canvas context ctx = bgCanvas.getContext('2d');

    // create new background image var bgImg = new Image();

    // draw background image on background canvas bgImg.onload = function () { //draw background image ctx.drawImage(bgImg, 0, 0); } bgImg.src = './path/to/image/file';

  4. Use the 'sketchpad' canvas for your draw / erase functions.

If you don't want the background image erased, set your image as a background of your container div (#sketch) instead of drawing it on the canvas itself.

// create a url string of your background image

bkImageURL="url(http://cssdeck.com/uploads/media/items/3/3yiC6Yq.jpg)";

// set the background-image of your container div to that url

sketch.style.backgroundImage = bkImageURL;
