How To Use The History Brush For Non-destructive Editing In Photoshop

How To Use The History Brush For Non-destructive Editing In Photoshop – I can call this “THE BEST SMALL BURNING TECHNOLOGY EVER!” but that would be like fiddling with the clock and not really true. There are many ways to burn and fade, but mostly they are blunt tools that allow you to lighten and darken parts of your image, with a little adjustment you can also change the color and lighten and darken parts, but change all the tones, without using. light masks you can not only change the highlights or midtones, this method allows you to do that.

Unlike my other tips, this one is destructive, so you should do it on a separate cover.

After doing what you have to do you have to hit new stamp Ctrl Alt shift E or if you are going to make 1 copy of the layer.

Open the History window and click the small box next to the last job. This will select the source of the History Brush. In my casting, the seal is visible, but it may have two ends.

Set the Opacity to around 10%, once you play with it you can adjust this to improve the effect.

Color Dodge = Brightens real scenes (this is especially useful for simulating flat scenes as it brightens what is already bright)

Soft Light = Increases contrast (not really, anything brighter than 50% makes it brighter, anything darker than 50% makes it darker, so if you set it to something that’s lighter, it makes it lighter and vice versa his)

It seems very difficult, but once you put it, it is like painting with light and it is very fast and intuitive, which cannot be charged with light toys forever.

Memory is brighter, but has lost contrast and saturation, so go back to History and use color dodge to highlight highlights.

Now I quickly went out and photographed around the whole picture emphasizing the glorious rocks and moss, and darkening the best scenes behind them, so nothing just makes a bad mess (I hope)

And nature again. There is no saturation increase or color change of any kind. If I were to do this for real I would use saturation and color (yellow highlights)

I never knew about this ability Ken, thanks for writing and I will find a place to use it and test it.

This is a great way to do it Ken. History Brush can be a powerful tool if we remember to use it.

I have to try that. I’m so attached to light masks at this point that I can’t see myself moving away from them. It never hurts to have more tools available!

Click to expand… Slim you can use this technique with a light mask and it will be very powerful. Try this from Alister Benn he uses Tony Kuyper, I use Lumenzia but they are not that different but TK has better tools for updating masks.

Interesting technology. I played with it a bit to see how it works and I can think of other applications for this. Thanks for writing.

I’m trying this but when I try to use the history brush it says it only works in 8-bit mode. If at this point I change to 8 bit, it says that history cannot be used because it was created in 16 bit. I’ll start again in a little bit after 8, but I wanted to mention this.

I tried only 8 bits and got the same message, the string does not match the current bit state. This is probably because Topaz is all the basic moves I use. Other than the white and black dots, all my steps are Topaz. I might try some things on the layer, like saturation or something like that and see if it works.

One of the weird things about Brussels History is that your current screenshot can’t go beyond the canvas size of the latest History image. If you crop an image, you must create a new image to specify it as the source. The History Brush cannot be used on top.

One thing is to try taking a new picture of your profile in the History pane. Right-click the most recent edit in the History panel and select New Image. This will create a new entry at the top of the History pane and you can select this new entry to set as your History Brush source. I had to do this for my Point Panorama image a few days ago because the input canvas size at the top of the History pane didn’t match the canvas size of the linked panorama.

Ok, after playing around a bit, I may have found my problem. It works with Topaz (if it works).

After creating a duplicate layer and changing the blending mode and opacity of the new layer, I only get the brush when I go to the layer below the new one. I expect the new row to be the setup row, but I can’t find the brush on the new row, just the one below.

It might be – AI Clear is the only tool I use from Topaz before going in with History Brush. I do almost all of my light and color balance in Lightroom before I send to PS and then run AI Clear once to clean everything up, then create a new History Brush cover. If I make more adjustments to Topaz, I’ll create a new layer when I’m done with the History Brush.

Most Topaz tutorials that mention Clear AI recommend using Clear before any changes in PS or Topaz tools.

Photoshop Basics: Getting To Know The History Panel

The easiest way to stop such problems is to make sure in the history window that you select the source of your history brush in the last major change ie to stamp a new layer or crop or use Topaz or change it to 8-bit mode, but I. I can’t imagine why you would want to do that. I explain how to choose a history brush source earlier in this post. Alister uses snapshots to select his source, but I find that can be confusing. You just need to ask. I just used Viveza and of course it doesn’t seem to work, but I just had to select the Viveza layer as my background brush source, I think Viveza does the same for Topaz. You need help, just ask. Kenneth

You must create a new image when you create a panorama slice when using PS panorama stitching. PS has a quirk where it starts the history with the first image in the linked sequence instead of the linked result. I’m using Visible Stamp to create a new layer from the panorama layers, but until I took a new photo of the Visible Stamp layer I couldn’t use the History Brush.

I usually do my light and color balance in Lightroom and then balance the image to merge in LR before selecting the image and then using Merge to Panorama in PS to start stitching.

Do you ever use reset when stitching, if Lightroom had this stitching option I would stitch almost everything in lightroom because it’s easier for me to do color and lightness after stitching than before. Kenneth

I almost always use Reposition. Especially when I use my TS-E 24mm lens for panorama frames. I’m not a fan of how Lightroom stitches and on the TS-E the moving panoramas don’t even come close to being accurate. I wish LR would give me stitch method options.

I don’t know what an image is or how to use it. I select a history in the history window and my last change is the only history I can use? I always use two layers
