Reba icon tutorial!
This icon tutorial features 1 of my favorite people of all time, Reba McEntire, in 1 of my most favorite episodes of Reba, The Pagaent of the Grandmas. Credit goes to the wonderful
beautdisastrfor making me the caps from that episode! In this tutorial, I tried to not only lighten up the pic I used, but I used a texture, and I also tried to make the pic more blue! This is translatable to other versions of PS as well as PSP!
Go from this:
to this:
1. Open up your pic. Resize it to 100x100 pixels after you crop it to the way you like it. This is now your base.
2. Duplicate your base once, set the blend mode to screen and opacity to 100%.
3. Make a new layer. Fill it with this color: 0b0a31 and set this layer to exclusion 100% opacity.
4. Make another new layer. Fill it with this color: dacda0. Set this layer to soft light 100% opacity,
5. Make a new layer. Fill it with this color: ccdaf6. Set this layer to color burn 100% opacity.
6. Remember the blue I was telling you about? This step will make it happen! Make a new levels adjustment layer (Layers+New Adjustment Layer+Levels). In the RGB mode, your input levels will be: 11, 1.03, 232.
In the BLUE mode, these are my settings: 7, 1.11, 232.
7. I also wanted to make Reba's dress more green. So I made a new layer, and filled with this color: d3efdf. Set this layer to color burn 100% opacity.
8. I didn't think my icon looked real bright, so I made a brightness/contrast adjustment layer, and upped my brightness to 13, and contrast to 16.
9. Last but not least, paste this texture:
by
heartthepretty onto your icon, adjust it to however you like it, and set the layer to screen 100% opacity.
Done! :)
