I just found icon tutorial a little while ago and found out about curves and levels, selective color etc. and started trying to color caps instead of making icons that were just small screen shots. This is my first time trying to do the lj cut thing (I'm new to posting on the site instead of just reading) and I couldn't get it to work, so here's a link.

I'm going to to try posting this again, and if it's wrong, please let me know. I think the extra question I asked made my post be misunderstood, so I took it out. I want to learn to make better icons, and joined here because the rules said we could get criticism here.
