Photoshop :: Couldn't Use History Brush Because History State Doesn't Have A Corresponding Layer
Aug 20, 2013I am trying to learn layers and layer masks. I loaded an image, than control J to duplicate it. I then added a layer mask. Everything good so far. I then went to filters chose a blur. Then went to brushes with black as my foreground color, I just wanted to brush away the blur, and got an error message. "could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."

Mar 24, 2013Everytime 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

Oct 6, 2013The 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.
Photoshop :: Art History Brush
Jan 15, 2009From 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: History Brush Won't Work?
Jul 19, 2013It'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!
Â
It was occasionally flakey in CS3 and CS5, but this is CS6 and should be rock-solid because I just upgraded.

Feb 26, 2013I've moved from using destructive adjustments to the nondestructive adjustment layers, but I can't seem to get a handle on how to use the history brush?
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?
Photoshop :: Unable To Use The History Brush Tool To...
Nov 16, 2008Opened 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.
Photoshop :: My History Brush Tool Isn't Working!
Jun 21, 2006My 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 RelatedPhotoshop :: Selection Feathering & History Brush
Jan 27, 2008I'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.
Photoshop :: Art History Brush - Bunch Of Snake Like Things Appear All Over?
Oct 16, 2013When 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
View 5 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Texture Attributes Not Saving With Art History Brush Tool Preset?
Oct 2, 2012I 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.
Photoshop :: History Brush Can't Work With Blending Modes Or Various Adjustment Layers?

Lightroom :: Brush Name In History Panel?
Oct 12, 2013I would like to know if there is a way to see the names of the brushes used in the History Panel?? All it says is "Add brush stroke" I that if you click on the brushes dots on the photo that you can see which brush is used, but I hate editing with those on, so I turn them off. Which means I have to do several clicks just to see what brushes I have already used. It would be so useful to just be able to see in my history which ones I used especially when you have to stop editing before you are totally finished with the photo and come back to it later.

Jul 2, 2013I am working on a project for my online class and am having difficulties with the History Brush. Note that both files are identical in size etc.
Â
1. I created a color text file and saved it with a specific name.
Â
2. I copied an existing photo from iPhoto, as I couldn't import into PhotoShop, and pasted it in a new file. I then removed the white background layer and then saved it with its now specific name and closed the file.
Â
3. I re-opened the Color Text File.
Â
4. I then re-opended my photo.
Â
5. I performed a "Select All" from the menu bar of my active Photo then selected Edit - Copy and then closed my Photo file.
Â
6. From my Color Text File I selected Edit and then Paste from the menu bar.
Â
7. I selected Layer and Flatten Image from the menu bar.
Â
8. I right clicked the background image from the Layers Panel and created a snapshot (which is my photo)
Â
9. I selected the History brush and verified that this also displayed in the gray box associated with the Color Text file within the History Panel.
Â
10. I verified that my photo image was displayed in my work area.
Â
11. I start to fill the photo with my History Brush and the only color I get is White.
Photoshop :: History Brush Screenshot From Fly-out Menu (instead Camera At Bottom Of Palette) Doesn't Work?
Apr 22, 2013I noticed that the history brush screenshot taken from the fly-out menu (instead of from the camera icon at the bottom of palette) doesn't work. History brush only works if you use the camera icon at the bottom of the history pallette and then select "current layer" for your snapshot from the drop down menu which shows up after you press the camera icon.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: When Change Brush Setting For 1 Brush It Changes Settings For All Brushes
Apr 13, 2013There are a few things I just don't get about brush settings. Sometimes it seems my brushes go all wonky.
Â
When I change the settings for 1 brush... say I add some jitter to a smooth brush - then suddenly the other brushes get the same jitter applied to them.
Â
How can I set the brushes so that each brush has a different setting that doesn't change when I change any other brush settings?
Â
p.s. I also don't get why Adobe has you lock a brush by UNlocking it? Seems to me it should be the other way around?
Photoshop :: Brush Size Is Smaller Than Circle That Represents The Brush
Dec 19, 2012I have contacted Adobe about issues with Photoshop brushes recently. My issue is that the brush size is smaller than the circle that represents the brush. In other words, when I hoover over the area that I want to paint or erase with the circle and then click, the painted or erased area is smaller that the circle. It's really frustrating when fine tuning an image, you never know how close you are to what you want to correct. This is only visible when you zoom in quit a bit. I worked with an Adobe tech for over an hour and he could not simulate the problem. Then he finally asked if I was using a retina display, (he was not).Â
