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 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. 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.
