Woohoo thank you so much for commenting Steve!
That was wonderful! I haven't ever understood how the Art History brush could be used to such great effect before. Now I see how I can use it to create fine art with it. I have an archive of antique photos that I think will come to a new life with this technique. Thank you so much!
That's great to hear you found this tutorial helpful! :)
Using the blue is genius! This is great, Helen! Thank you!!
Hey there, we're so happy to hear you liked this technique :)
Thank you! I am so glad you liked this technique.
That was a fab tutorial, just what I was looking for but a lot of practice needed to master it !

Thank you for explaining the whys in addition to the hows. This is a good skill and knowledge building exercise and the results are phenomenal.
You are very welcome Sue. I hope you get great use out of these tips and I look forward to seeing your future designs.
Great tutorial, Helen. Like some others, I had a problem with the brush painting white on a new layer. I found that I had to make my snapshot from the flyout menu on the History panel, and change "From: Document" to "From: Merged Layers." I was then able to paint on a new layer on top of my photo. I also started with a raw image from Adobe Camera Raw, then converted that to 8-bit in Ps. After that, I created my snapshot. Hope this helps some others. Thank you.
We're really glad that you found this tutorial super helpful Eric and thanks so much for sharing your findings too, we hope that our community find this handy too!

Excellent. Been looking for method without using an action. Nicely done.
I'm so glad it helped :)
Wow thanks for this!
You're so welcome Adriano and thanks for watching!
Subscribed and liked! I literally had no idea how to do this. And this is the easiest tutorial yet. Seriously can’t thank you enough. You’re also an amazing artist.
It's awesome to hear that you found this tutorial so helpful and user-friendly!
Thank you for subscribing :)
Thank you for this, it was a lot of fun. I think my image was a bit dark and it got a tad muddy but a run through ACR in PS and it came out nicely. I too was having an issue with the white brushing. I figured I would follow along precisely and cropped my image (although I did not move the handles) and it worked as in the tutorial. I was using a raw image as well so maybe if I had of save it as a jpg first and then tried it would have been fine.
Hi Gary, thanks for your comment. We're happy to hear you've had fun following along this tutorial and got a good outcome in the end :).
Great tutorial, really easy to follow.
Glad you found it helpful Alan :)
This was awesome, I'm a creative design photographer and this really adds another idea to my editing.. thank you great video..

@@DesignCuts No worries.. You can see some of my work at shaunpoolethinkcreative.foliohd.com/my-gallery but I will show you a piece of art from what you showed me yesterday.. I can't wait to do something with this Idea.. Thank You and I will show you something soon. :)
Absolutely superb! Thank you, Helen. Would this style work on portraits?
That's great to hear you found this tutorial helpful! This style should work okay on portraits - we really would love to see your designs if you would like to share them :)
Wow,this looks like a lot of work! I love Topaz filters & believe I can get the same effect with less work. I love PS & use my topaz filters in that program!
Hey Marilyn,
Thanks for commenting and it's wonderful to hear that you can achieve a similar effect with your Topaz filters. We really appreciate your feedback, and hope that you can still enjoy this tutorial and can incorporate some of the tips into your future designs :).
super interesting
Thanks! I'm glad you found this interesting :)
Very nice
That's great to hear you found this tutorial helpful Sanjib :)
Really fun and useful, but I must have done something wrong. I only get some sort of white paint though I tested with a colorful photo. And no details, even though I tried all sorts of sizes on the brush and the tolerance. Do you know what I might have missed?
Karin, I am not sure what is happening here but you aren't alone as I checked and some people have the same problem and I have been able to duplicate it on one of my images. A couple of things to check: check that you are using the Art History Brush and that, in the History panel that you have the Art History Brush icon to the immediate left of the original image or the cropped image.
If neither work, (and I suspect they aren't the problem), I suggest you flatten your image to a single layer, save it (as a copy if you don't want to lose your layers), close the image and open the flattened image. Now add the new layer, and see if that works. I was able to go from white paint to painting in color this way so I hope it works for you?
I think the problem was that I used a raw-file, it works with a jpg. Though I really need a lot of practise, I have discovered :-)
Thank you for the answer and for the tutorial, a really fun way to make something different in Photoshop!
Although I've seen (& implemented) this technique before, I've never seen the patented Helen Bradley Final Magic Touch, where she added bits of additional color. & her tutorials are always clear, concise, & informative. Hats off to you, Helen!
Hey Richard, thanks so much for this amazing feedback. Ha ha we love this: Helen Bradley Final Magic Touch - I think we might need to change the name of our playlist to this :)
Cheers Richard, that made me laugh!
@@HelenBradley I'm glad you enjoyed the compliment, Helen. Hopefully it made your day. But in all seriousness, I do so admire your talents & generosity in sharing them!
@@DesignCuts change the name? Awesome! She would totally deserve it!
So happy to hear you admire Helen and enjoy her tutorials. We are really grateful to be working with such Helen and happy we can share her amazing techniques with you :)

👍👍👍
I am so pleased to see you have found this tutorial useful :)
WOW
You are very welcome Christa. Happy Designing!
@@DesignCuts I wish there was a way to share the picture I painted with you. It’s a portrait of people so I used a different brush, but still I love how it turned out
@@DesignCuts I am also of the WOW opinion, thank you for this tutorial! Maybe you can help me solve this (user-based?) issue? I can't seem to get my art history brush to work. It says "Could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable." I have the layer set up, the brush, and I get a circle with a line through it when I mouse over the layer and I get that message above when I click on it. Am sifting on the internet to find out a fix but so far no luck. Can you help?
I don’t have the possibility to turn on the legacy brushes 😞
Hey Freya,
Thanks for getting in touch and I am sorry that you are having some trouble with these resources. If you could pop us an email at hello@designcuts.com with a screenshot of what you are seeing on your end?
@@DesignCuts hey 👋 thank you very much! I will send the screenshot when I get the chance 😊
Thanks a lot!
How do you fix it when you go to paint on the new layer and it paints white? I noticed one comment on this but his instructions on how to fix this problem were more confusing than the problem itself.
Hey Angela, that's a great question. Feel free to pop an email to me at hello@designcuts.com so I can help you with this :)
How do you get the color of the image?
Hey Jan, if you are referring to picking out a particular colour within an image, you can do with with your paintdropper tool :)
Design Cuts thank you so much. I enjoyed your video a lot. I will take a crack at it again tonight. I actually forgot about the paint dropper tool. I must have missed that part of your video. Thank you again so much.
You're so welcome Jan, and if you have any other queries, please do get in touch, we are always happy to help!
are you picking the stylus off the tablet?
You can certainly create different styles by picking the stylus off the tablet - it's all about experimenting and having fun 🙂.
You are a Kiwi... :-)...
You are certainly correct that Abbie is based in Australia, Antony 🙂.
