  • History Brush Tip

    This is a tip mentioned by Doug Nelson. If if you resize your image the history brush will only work from the point were you resized forward (It cannot work on differently-sized image)
    If you plan to use the history brush at some time in your digital manipulation, it would be a good idea to make a snapshot after you do any resizing of the image that also includes using the crop tool or rotate canvas.

    I'll add for the uninitiated that 'snapshots' are static copies of your image that can be referred to by the history brush at any point, even if you've gone past the maximum number of history steps you've allocated (or used to revert the entire image). You can have as many snapshots as you like, but be cautious as they'll bloat your file very quickly.

      Don't forget to name those snapshots also for easy reference.

        I use the Art History brush a LOT. I'm a novice, but I find I get the same results using it as others get using masks and channels. If I want to brighten someones face for instacne, I adjust the contrast the brightness on a rough selection of the face, then back it off in history and use the art history...

        I'm attaching an image you can try this on. Open the image and then do a levels adjustment. By the time the people are bright enough, the sky is way over-exposed. Don't...

        I'm a Photoshop 5.5 novice (as you can tell by my restoration efforts), there is one aspect that makes my teeth itch.

        How in the world do you use the history brush? I've tried following the techniques that were stated in the various books on restoration.

        TIP: History help
        by Doug Nelson

        You can also pick any point along the history timeline and use the flyout menu to choose 'new document'....
