                          History Brush Tool

                     History Brush Tool helps to restore multiple image states (with colour, details, smoothness) as you
                     move through a Photoshop session while working on an individual image. It gives us the option of
                     multiple undos. 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. In the Options bar, you can experiment
                     with Brush size and type, Mode, Opacity and Flow percentages, and Airbrush.

                                                         Options bar of History Brush Tool

                     Perform the following steps to use the History Brush Tool:
                     Step 1:   Open an image in Photoshop.

                     Step 2:  Open the History panel by selecting Window → History option from the Menu bar.
                     Step 3:  Select the History Brush Tool from the Tools panel.

                     Step 4:   Make the desired changes in image. In this case, the image has been changed to Desaturate
                             mode by Image → Adjustment → Desaturate option from the Menu bar. The History panel
                             saves the steps of this image as layers. We have also highlighted the areas by using the
                             History Brush Tool and paint it over the image as a normal brush. Notice in the History
                             panel, all the versions of the image are saved as different layers. Original image remains
                             unchanged.
