The Art History Brush tool


Original


Photoshopped

A unique little tool found in your side bar is the Art history Brush tool. Along with this brush is the regular history brush tool. The Regular history brush tool basically restores your image back to its former self. Lets say you drew a black mustache on your person in the picture...If you take the history brush tool and go over the mustache it will disappear showing the original image...kinda like the eraser tool in a way. Enough about that ...we are here to talk about the "Art" history brush. Just like its brother the regular history brush , the art history brush tool works to bring back the original image wherever you brush it....but...it does it "artistically". It adds swirls and circles almost turning your once bland picture into a painting. You can mess with the brush settings as to how the brush responds....Example: Wether or not the brush swirls a little or leave a rounded ball...Hard to explain unless your actually seeing this. Just mess around with it. Its a really interesting tool to use and comes in handy when you want to make your pic look like an oil painting or really cool pop art. As in the picture's above I took a pic of Times square, Which is interesting enough but it needed some funk! I took the art brush and went over the whole picture with a large brush size...and took down the brush size in some areas because the smaller the brush size the more detail you will restore. I hope this bit of advice has been helpful to some and if you cant find the history brush I put a pic up of what the icon looks like and the toolbar just to make sure you clicked the right one!
