Involves selective color.



1. Begin with base:



2. Duplicate base and set layer to SCREEN (my layer is set at 60%):



3. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>COLOR BALANCE, enter in:
MIDTONES: -34, 13, -16
SHADOWS: -16, 7, 34
HIGHLIGHTS: -10, 0, 0
UNCHECK PRESERVE LUMINOSITY



4. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>SELECTIVE COLOR, enter in:
REDS: -40, -18, 17, 0
YELLOWS: -50, 13, -13, 0
GREENS: 100, -21, 25, 0
CYANS: 100, 71, 21, 20
NO BLUES
MAGENTAS: -43, 16, -16, 0
NO WHITES
NEUTRALS: 15, 4, -8, -16
NO BLACKS



5. DUPLICATE (Layer>Duplicate Layer... press OK) the SELECTIVE COLOR layer:



6. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>HUE/SATURATION, enter in:
MASTER: 0, 45, 0
Set the layer to SOFT LIGHT @ 33%



And it's done! Comments are love, questions are welcomed, and joining/watching my comm is highly recommended!! Also, if your icon looks a little washed-out, you may want to try putting a duplicated base layer set to SOFT LIGHT after the duplicated base SCREEN layer.
