Could not use brush history because the State of the story doesn't have a corresponding channel Please HELP CS6

Whenever I try to use my history brush, the error pops up and I have no idea why. If I try just to open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can 'use' the brush, but nothing is displayed on the project. Anyway, so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I put a leader (picture) in the project and it's the first thing I do. I place, then I sized the image down some. I'm then a new layer to use the brush to behind the image and then that's when I get the error. I have no idea what is wrong can someone please help me I'm desperate: (.)

It drove me crazy too and I couldn't find anything on the Net or in all the tutorials on the Adobe site. The solution I found is extremely obscure - it seems that it is essential when you take the snapshot for the layer of story that you do not choose the default option in the snapshot dialog box that appears to allow you to name the snapshot. In this dialog box, use a "Comprehensive Document", instead, click on the arrow to select the option below that is 'Merged layers', then it worked like a charm. Good luck!
