I'm actually surprised this icon won and by a long shot too! I thought for sure the Card Captor Sakura or Clover icon would've gotten the most votes ^.^ Anyways here you go! :)

Ohhhh, that's really cool. It's a nice icon - thanks for sharing how you did it! I'll have to be more adventurous about my icon making and try this sometime. :)

XDD! the icon is just lovely. I can't wait to try out your tutorial. Unfortunately, I can't have photoshop on the computer I'm currently using, so I'm waiting for my computer to be fix to start photoshopping again xD.

Thanks for the tutorial!! I hope you'll make more tutorials in the near future.

Just wondering, which anime/manga did that image come from? This is really a very lovely tutorial, the hues are all so sweet.

finally i did the tutorial, at least half of it, though i know how to work with all types of adjustment layers, i rly Wanted to know what Settings did you use on the adjustment layers on the last 4 steps!! DD: cuz i wanted to get that pinkish coloring U_U

Re: ups watermist January 2 2009, 19:44:57 UTC

Sorry, but I don't give out the exact numbers for my adjustment layers. But I can tell you what I did in general:

Colour Balance:
Move the bars more to the reds, magentas and yellows for warm colouring.

Selective Colour:
I play with the Reds to bring out the brown in Yuuki's hair. i.e.) Yellow is a positive number and Cyan is a negative number.

With the Whites, I make Cyan a negative number and Yellow and Magenta a positive number to bring out the pinks a bit.

With Neutrals, I make Cyan a negative number and Yellow a positive number to add some warmth.

I did some other adjustments with selective colour, but they were really subtle.

Channel Mixer:
This is where I got the pink colouring to come out.

For the Green output channel, I lower the Red and Blue values a tiny bit. Which brings out the magentas.

For the Blue output channel, I lower the Red value to again give the icon some warmth.

Levels:
I used the RGB channel to brighten the icon ( ... )
