History Brush Tool
History Brush Tool helps to restore multiple image states (with color, details, smoothness) as you
move through a Photoshop session while working on an individual image. It gives us the option of
multiple undo’s. It allows you to paint back your image to an earlier state.
It saves you from the tedious work like duplicating a portion of the image to another layer, retouching
a layer, and merging to the underlying layer again. History states can also be saved as Snapshots with
the help of small camera at the bottom of the History panel.
