The "History Brush" Eraser

Paint with time.

The Workflow

1. Open the History Panel.
2. Click the camera icon at the bottom to create a Snapshot of your current, clean state.
3. Paint loosely and dramatically. mess up the edges. Destroy the details.
4. Select the History Brush Tool (Y).
5. Click the empty box next to your ‘Snapshot 1’ in the History Panel.

The Technique

Now, everywhere you paint, you are painting “The Past” back onto the canvas. It allows you to be aggressive with texture brushes, then carve back the clean form where needed.
