When i select the history brush, i keep getting this message.
'Could not use the art history brush because the current canvas size does not match that of the history state'
I'm working on a flyer on a 8x11 canvas, but I want all of the elements I'm working to be transferred to a NTSC video film format. I understand how to a open a NTSC (Video Film Canvas), but I do not understand how to convert a canvas that I'm working to that.

I use a wacom tablet.
I'm searching a perfect source that can work for a scaling System which is best and recommended to match canvas size.

Now I'm not able to draw sharp shapes using pen tool because even if I hold shift key everything gets blurry.Â
I'm trying to scale a pattern to fit the entire canvas without tiling it over the whole layer. To try to do this, I made a rectangular selection box, then dragged and dropped a pattern into the box. This created a new layer called "clipboard". I right clicked the clipboard layer, then left clicked "Scale Layer". Then I entered a width and height in pixels that matched the size of the canvas. The selection does expand, but it doesn't fill the entire canvas.

"could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."
View 3 Replies View RelatedEverytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project.
so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong
I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.

Is it possible to keep the original canvas size ?
Frequently can not use the History Brush. I get an error message saying the history state dose not contain the corresponding layer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe tolerance feature of art history brush tool is explained in the reference as following:
Â
"A high tolerance limits paint strokes to areas that differ considerably from the color in the source state or snapshot"

When I try to use this tool on a image's original state (no difference with the history state) with the 100% tolerance setting, some of the areas can be brushed.

So, I'm a little bit confused about the function of the "tolerance" slider.
From what I have read I think that I should be able to use as a source for the Art History brush any snapshot I have taken of an earlier layer. But when I tick the left hand box (ie put the Art History icon there)to make a snapshot active and then put the mouse cursor over the top layer of the image, I get an error message saying "Could not use the art history brush because the history state lacks a corresponding layer". But I can paint into it (the top layer) using the original image (with the art history brush icon next to it). In other words, I cannot use the art history brush with any snapshot as source.
What I am trying to do is have available two or three layers with different retouching treatments of the same image as snapshots so that I can paint them in to a new blank, but color filled, top layer. So, I want to have for example, a layer with little detail, another with lots of detail and another with increased color saturation and be able to add these by art histor brush into the blank top layer (which is filled with a background color).
I thought this should be possible. At the moment all I can use is the original image as an art history source.
I'm using CS4.
Would like to see some results of your work with History Brush, hope my request is not too personal.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt's an 8-bit PSD file. One layer (current, preferred edits) needs some pixels from the original (layer 0). I make sure to get just layer0 showing, make new snapshot, mark that for the Hx brush. Target the top layer/visible and go to where I want to repair the pixels. Paint with the Hx brush. NOTHING!

It was occasionally flakey in CS3 and CS5, but this is CS6 and should be rock-solid because I just upgraded.

Â
I've tried taking a snapshop of the current state with adjustments. then click back to the original snapshot as the source, hoping the history brush would work, but it doesn't. is there a way to use the history brush with adjustment layers?
Â
I've see one demo that doesn't exactly use the history brush, the paint black on the adjustment layer to expose whats beneath it.Is this how you need to work with adjustment layers?
Opened the myFile.psd file to continue edits from yesterday.
All layers are still visible, but when I attempt to use the History Brush Tool to continue editing the layer to paint over the image, nothing happens. It all was working yesterday.
Since I am new to Photoshop I was unsure if there was some default setting that needs to be changed.
This is the trial version of CS4.
My history brush tool doesn't seem to work! I am doing it just as I used to use it, so I definently know how to use it. Yes, I am using it on the desired layer. I don't know why, for these past few days, it hasn't been working like it used to!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've activated a feature without meaning to and don't know how to undo it. With the Rectangular Marquee Tool, the border shifts from a rectangle to a round-edged shape when I release the mouse after selecting an area. Then, when I cut that area, it lifts only a transparent portion of the selected area instead of the entire layer. How do I turn this off?
Also, I was once shown how to make use of the history brush to restore deleted / erased information along the edge of a shape that were overtaken by the magic wand. I've not been able to do that again on my own.
this is for Adobe PS 8.0.
I installed LR5 from LR4 yesterday and each time I open an image in CS5 from my LR5, I get the following message:
Â
The document "IMG_9082.CR2"has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space.
Â
Embedded:Â Adobe RGB (1998)
Â
 Working sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Â
What would you like to do?
-Use the embedded profiel (instead of the working space)
-Convert documents's colors to the working space
-Discard the embedded profile (don't color manage)
Â
My camera's settings have it set with sRGB, LR4 and LR5 have sRGB and I have CS5 workspace as sRGB. This did not happen before.
Â
Is it possible that when LR5 updated the LR4 catalogue, it changed the profile of all my photos? I don't know, maybe I've done something, but I can't see what as I don't remember changing anything.
When I use the art history brush at a very small size, it acts very weird. As soon as I click in the document, a bunch of snake like things appear all over. Like a bunch of little worms spreading all over the page. I've trashed my prefs, I've reset my tool, I've tried different brushes, I've checked scattering, noise, etc. in my brush settings, I've checked my blend modes, pretty everything I can think of doing, and they are still doing it.Â

Â
After I select a particular brush, and then use it for a few minutes, sometimes I forget the name of the brush preset I'm using, so I got back into the tool presets window to see if it's still highlighted, but it isn't.Â
Â
I've looked everywhere else to see where I can get the name of the current brush (which was selected via tool presets panel, not brush presets panel), but I can't find it anywhere.
1. How do I connect, collapse and disconnect windows (tool bar, property manager, etc.)? They get stuck together and I can't unstick them. Â
2. What's the difference between canvas size and image size? Â
3. Which tools are only for web design (i.e. tools I can ignore if I'm not doing that)? Â
4. What's the subselection tool do? Â
For Photoshop: Â
1.Why is the original layer always locked?
2. Whats the name of the property inspector in PS? And is it called inspector or manager in FW?
Can someone please explain to me about file sizes and image dimensions. I have to put together a collage which is 165mm high by 258mm wide. If I click file new and choose default resolution (72) then the file size is ok, if I type in 300 dpi the image becomes huge.
If i chosse 300 dpi then the images I was going to use seem tiny on such a vast workspace - Im confused why does the canvas become so large when changing resolution?
I am sure that in the past Texture settings saved when I loaded a saved Art History Brush tool preset. But suddenly, the Texture setting - specifically Depth, is not being remembered. In other words - I have saved an Art History Brush as a Tool Preset. I have then used some other brushes and experimented with texture including the Depth setting. When I go back to the saved tool preset, the Texture Depth setting has changed to whatever it was when I last used it - not its saved value. I thought the point of Tool Presets is that they save all brush characteristics.Â
I'm using CS6. The tool presets and their Texture attributes work fine in CS5. Maybe I need to reinstall CS6.
