Please help. I am trying to use the brush tool in a layer mask to reveal the layer below, but the only brush I can access is the "History brush."
Frustrated. What am I doing wrong?

My brush had turned to a pencil, and I am too new to know to have looked until I saw your screenshot. Essentially what photography is is life lit up.

And I bet that's how I ended up with a pencil but just didn't know it was all in the same space. Lol...the scales are falling from my eyes. Essentially what photography is is life lit up.
