Reposting History Brush

I already posted this msg in the Corel forum, but no comments:

Yesterday i followed an Adobe Tutorial on using History Brush
Of course i wanted to know "what the hell it does?"

Guess what? It is MAGIC

and this is how it works:

1- Apply any of the Adobe effects (even 3rd part plugins) to your whole
image
2- Open the History Platte
3- Click on the first layer "open" which means to undo everything you did...
Like Revert
4- Select the History Brush Tool
5- Tick in the History Platte next to the effect , History Brush icon will
shows in the platte next to the effects you want to apply
6- Start brushing your effects, Magic
Note: you can apply more than one effect then tick them in History Platte
and brush them back to your image, also you can tweak your brush, with it is
opacity or size ...all the brush options

This reminds me with an Application many of you may never heard of
WATCH&SMILE: http://www.binuscan.com/ws/index.html
I saw a demo for it, and when the instructor came to the point of applying
effects
He said " It is support all the 3rd party plugins"
He said " But it is different from any application that you know"
I said "Like what?"
He said " When applying an effects WATCH&SMILE ask you if you want to apply
it normally (a selection or whole) or thrugh the brush"
I said " What do you mean"
He showed me how, he started to brush the KPT effect to his image,
I said :"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OW wait wait i want to
try it my self, to make sure that you are not faking us"
Guess guys it was no fake

He said " we don't have undo's" " we have UndoBrush"

Another feature: the Eraser, it erase anything that you made by painting or
effects, but not the original, It is like revert but thru a brush, Again
"WOWWWWWOOOOOWWWWOOOOOWWWOOOOOOW"

Since PhotoPaint is my choice of photo editing Application i would like to
see those 2 feature in coming update
!- Option to apply an effect thru normal procedure OR thru a BRUSH, call it
EffectsBrush
!- Eraser, to erase any changes you do to your image, thru Brushing

Hi AjIscoool,

Photoshop is a application I would really like to have but I feel that Photopaint can do the same thing now using clip masks. It sure sounds nice with Photoshop though and I may be misunderstanding exactly how the history brush works since I don't have it. Being able to apply mutiply effects and pick which one to apply back is awesome.

I think the local undo tool in Photopaint can do some of the eraser stuff.

Cheryl

seems to be what you were referring to Aj. I went out to the site and read through all the documentation and that is the program that you can brush effects on and then erase them by brushing them off. But the program is only for Max OS. So I can't demo it.

They are effects that I would love to see added into PhotoPaint. There was another one that was really cool. One dialog photofixing. You have little check boxes and sliders to allow you to do color corrections, add/remove noise, sharpen, gamma correction and a couple of other things, then just hit the OK button and all processes are applyed to the parent image. There is a double window showing you before and after so you are sure this is what you want to do. Another thing that would be nice in PhotoPaint for those simple photo projects that only need a little fixing.

Oh well, I still think that PhotoPaint wins hands down, regardless.

Cheryl thanks for mentioning the clipMask option

it is nice

I did exactly what i said that PhotoShop can do in Photopaint

1- Apply combination of effects
2- Apply the ClipMask
3- Brush away unwanted effects ( white to show, black to hide)

Thanks again

sorry i hit OK before finishing

But in PhotoShop you can hide or show only the effects by brushing not the whole image

I know you can do by dupplicating

More steps

Is there is any tutorial on "local undo "
How does it work?

Thanks

Hi AjIscoool,

You can use the local undo tool to brush away the last effect you applied. But it only works one time. It doesn't work right in version 10, at least not mine. The transparency and soft edge control don't work. It works in version 9.

Another way to erase would be the cloned from save tool. You can brush back your saved orignal from any state as long as you don't change the file size in any way.

Hope you can find more information on the undo tool.

Thanks Cheryl for your supports and hints

I opened "PhotoPaint 8 official guid" by David Huss

There is a tutorial that uses Local undo

1- open an image
2- Fill your image (texure,Gradient or another image fill)
3- Start erasing the new fill by using Local Undo brush

Nice you can have the same image, apply efects to it, save it, use as fill, then erase unwanted effects

Clone From Saved is also another nice way

1. Create a new object
2. Apply effect
3. Object/Clip Mask/Create/Hide all
4. Select your brush and settings paint with it. Switch paint color from white to black for paint or erase.

PhotoPaint is almost as powerfull as Photoshop, it only needs a little polishing.

ClipMask is a daily useful tool. I use it all the time. Almost every image need it.

Glad it helps.
