I am having difficulty with the history brush.

(1) I open the picture and prepare it for painting.

(2) I open the history palette and create a new snapshot (merged layers)

(3) I I select a center rectangle of the picture and use the inverse menu item to select its complement. I create a layer for that complement, which is a frame. I need to be able to change that frame later.

(4) I create a new layer to paint in.

(5) Here is the problem: when I pick a history brush to paint, in this third layer, all I get is a monochromatic rendition. I do not get the actual history of the original picture. Why is this?

Thank you!

I tried to recreate your result and couldn’t do it. Brush settings?
