Painting with a state or snapshot of the
image
The history brush tool lets you paint a copy of one
state or snapshot of an image into the current
image window. This tool makes a copy, or sample,
of the image and then paints with it.
For example, you might make a snapshot of a
change you made with a painting tool or filter.
After undoing the change to the image, you could
use the history brush tool to apply the change
selectively to areas of the image. Unless you select
a merged snapshot, the history brush tool paints
from a layer in the selected state to the same layer
in another state.
The history brush tool works similarly to the
rubber stamp tool, but on any state or snapshot of
the image, not just the current one. (See “Using
the rubber stamp tool and pattern stamp tool” on
page 190.)
To paint with a state or snapshot of an image:
1 Double-click the history brush tool ( ) to
display its Options palette.
2 Specify the opacity and blending mode as
explained in “Using the Options palette for
painting and editing tools” on page 203.
3
Choose a brush size, as explained in “Using the
Brushes palette” on page 200.
4
If desired, select Impressionist to paint with an
“impressionistic” copy of the source state or
snapshot. This option drags and smears the pixels
as you paint.
Original image, and with Impressionist option
5 In the History palette, click the left column of
the state or snapshot to use as the source for the
history brush tool.
6 Drag to paint with the history brush tool.
Duplicating images
You can copy an entire image (including all layers,
layer masks, and channels) into available memory
without saving to disk by using the Duplicate
command or by dragging and dropping.
To copy an image using the Duplicate command:
1
Open the image you want to copy.
2
Choose Image > Duplicate.
3
Enter a name for the copied image.
4 To duplicate the image without layers, select
Merged Layers Only.
