Tutorial 5

Jul 03, 2008 13:03


Well, it's been yet another two months since I've updated, I think I\m gonna get back on the LJ tip soon, so don't worry.  This time I got a new icon tutorial. :) I got ADOBE PHOTOSHOP BACK!! I had a 30 day trial before.

Anyways this is what we're looking at:

From: 
   to:  

1.) Crop your image to the desired size.

2.) Duplicate the base layer and set it to soft light at 80% opacity.

3.) Create a new selective colouring layer. Match your settings to mine:
       Reds : -30, 0 -20, -60
       Cyans : 20, 0, 50, 10
       Neutrals : 30, 10, 0, -20

4.) Duplicate base layer again and set it to Overlay at 60% opacity.

5.) Create a new raster layer and flood fill it with the colour fcf3ea. Set this layer to Color Burn at 70% opacity.

And you're done! Rember that this tutorial is more of a guidline, and all images are different so, don't be afraid to change up some of the settings.

Here are some other icons that used this same technique:


 
 

(The second picture was slightly altered; the Overlay layer was replaced for Screen " 70%)
