Tutorial #1

So we're going to go from  to
In 7 easy steps, not translatable.

Other icons made using this tut:
  


1. You know how to start. Get a picture you want and crop it. Also, I didnt shrpen yet, but you can go right ahead and do that.

2. Now duplicate your base, and set it to Screen. What you set the screen opacity to all depends on your icon. For this icon I used 31%

3. Now create a Hue/Saturation Layer. For this kind of coloring I usually use something between +20 to +35, all depending on the picture I'm using. For this icon, I used +21.

4. Time for Selective Coloring.
Reds: -100, +10, +100, 0
Yellows: -100, +10, -50, 0
Neutrals: +32, -8, -12, 0

5. Time for more Selective Coloring.
Reds: -13, -11, +12, 0
Yellows: +26, +8, -20, 0
Neutrals: +10, 0, -8, 0

6. Now it's time for the last (i swear!) layer of selective coloring.
Neutrals: +18, +28, +23, -14

7. After all this was when I sharpened the icon.

Then add some brushes, text, textures, whatever to make your icon look pretty.

I know you said the tut was nontranslatable, but stubborn me I had to see. I have PSP8 and thought to give it ago. And amazingly enough ... it pretty much worked. Just had to make every selective coloring layer a separate layer, as I didn't have the reds, yellows, neutrals options. It came out looking pretty! So, awesome, thanks!
