History Brush in AP?

[jhmdigital]

Adobe Photoshop has a History Brush which can be used to paint back from History states.

 

I used it to create digital pictures by painting onto a new blank layer with one of Photoshops art brushes e.g water colour with reduced opacity and gradually building uptake opacity. Please note I don't mean the ART History brush, just the history brush and choosing one of the brush range.

 

Please see attached jpeg example.

 

Unfortunately I cannot find a history brush, or any mention of it in tutorials or help. However while searching the forums I did find:

We will have an upgraded brush engine, new brush sets and a new colour mixing brush for Photo. 
The history brush in Photo I will also be very useful for digital painting. 

 

Is there a history brush I cannot find or has it not yet been introduced? 

 

Any advice gratefully received.

Hi jhmdigital,

The tool you are referring to is actually called Undo Brush. It's located below the Clone Brush Tool. You can find more info about it in Affinity Photo Help ▸ Workspace ▸ Tools ▸ Retouch Tools ▸ Undo Brush Tool.

You can use it to paint from a previously saved Snapshot or History state.

MEB - many thanks, I've sent ages searching for the 'history' brush so I feel a bit of a fool.

 

Are there many other tools / filters etc in AP that perform similar tasks to ones in Photoshop but which have a different name? It could be useful if Affinity could provide a list of them giving the Photoshop name first and then the name of the AP equivalent so that people transferring from Photoshop can easily find them.

 

Just a suggestion.

Filter>Render>Clouds in PS is Filter Noise>Perlin Noise in Affintity.

It is amazing. Much more intelligent then "Render Clouds". ;)

Many thanks MBd and Madame for above. Will start compiling my own list of equivalents.
