Tutorial 04
Note: This is just a guide once and again I repeat the result will depend on your image's quality and own colouring. So keep in mind to adjust this setting so that it work in your icon.
1. So you start with your base, sharpen it and then make a screen blend mode adjust the opacity so that it doesn't look too brighten. I set it to 40% this time.
==>
Just in case someone need it I usually sharpen my icons with this settings:
2. Lets start with the color layers. Make a soft layer with #FFC0FF 66% opacity.
==>
3. Make another soft layer but now with #C0FFFF 32% opacity.
==>
4. Now make a burn layer with #C0C0FF.
==>
5. One more burn layer with #FFFFC0.
==>
6. Make a new adjustment layer-hue/saturation/lightness:
Master: 36
Blues: 28
==>
7. Looks kinda weird huh? don't worry here that will change. Go to a new adjustment layer-Color balance and set this settings:
Check 'preserve luminance'
Midtones: -100 -10 -1
==>
8. Now make another adjustment layer-curves just shift the curve a little like this:
this time I set this curves to luminance (L) mode
==>
9. Last but not least make an adjustment layer-brightness/contrast. I set it to:
Brightness: 2
Contrast: 6
==>
