In the last lesson, I showed you some of the cool features of the history palette. And one feature I might not have shown you is that when you get to a certain state after you made a several edits, another nice button in the history palette is the ability to simply create a new document from this state in your histories. Click on this button, and instantly you'll have a new document with all these edits made. And notice since the first edit I made was simply to duplicate it. This particular document has no history, so I could go ahead and start to edit this document as well to build up it's own set of histories. Well, I'm going to close that and review a little bit about the history palette. Remember whichever item on the history palette is highlighted, and also has this little tick icon here, indicates that that is the current history state that we would be editing. So if I went and painted on it I'd be editing this history state, or I could drag this little tick mark up to various different history states. Another way I could choose one of my history states is simply to click on its name, and it will go right to that history state. Well you may be wondering what is this row to the left of our collection of history states, and for that matter snapshots at the top of our history palette. This area for icons here allows you to choose which history state or snapshot the art history brush or history brush will look at for its information. So I can use the history brush here to paint back on my document from a different history state. So I might just go ahead and look at some of these history states and I think what I am going to do is go back to a state that I had my other cows. And I can see if I go to my gradient state, here are my other cows that I cloned out. So I'm going to go back down to my last history state, and because I want to continue editing, but I want to derive my information when I use the history brush from this particular state where these cows existed over here. And now selecting my history brush, and I'll make it a little bit larger by pressing the right bracket key, and I'll zoom-in a bit. I can begin to paint back the items that were in this area at this particular point in history. And so that's how the history brush works. You can choose from which state in your history palette or snapshot you want to paint information back. The history brush has a hidden tool associated with it called the art history brush. And this works essentially like the history brush, in the sense that you can choose what state in the history palette it derives its information from. However, it adds a special effect to it. And you can choose what kind of special effect mark the art history brush uses. So I'll just try some of these. And you can also choose how big the area that this mark effects as well as the tolerance settings. I'm going to turn my tolerance setting down, so I will get a lot of marks - the lower the tolerance setting the more it will mark your document, not based on different colors derived from various history. So you can see that we are creating this special effect using this type of brush. I think I might change and use my loose curl brushes. And perhaps increase the area that is being affected to 30-pixels. So you can create some very interesting artistic effects using the art history brush in combination with your history palette.
