\nEach week we ask you to make cool stuff around a theme, and each week you deliver. This week it\u2019s all about using the History Brush. You can make anything you like using the History Brush. Just tag your photos\u00a0#pixlrbrush\u00a0so we can find them. As usual, we\u2019ll accept photos tagged on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, and Facebook. Winners get a whole lot of recognition and community love. We\u2019re doing this for the fame and glory! And love.
\nIf you\u2019ve never tried the History Brush \u2014 or didn\u2019t even realize it existed \u2014\u00a0you\u2019re about to be introduced to one of the most powerful tool in Pixlr apps. Simply put, the History Brush lets you wipe away the last effect you applied to a photo. If you added a strong overlay of hearts to your photo but wanted some parts of your photo to not have that effect, you can brush it away. It\u2019s available in the Pixlr mobile app and on the web version, and it\u2019s especially good for applying multiple layers of effects in subtle ways.\u00a0Portraits are great for this kind of thing. You can add lots of effects but keep your subject front and center using the History Brush, like we did with this kid on the beach. We added canvas effects, bokeh hearts, and an overlay of purple color to make a unique background:
