Yep, another icon tutorial. This one was requested by the lovely Som, its incredibly easy. Oh and yep, I used curves again :P .
Going from
to
1. Duplicate your base and set it to screen. Repeat this as many times as you need to make your base look brighter.
2. Now, the magic of curves <3 . Layer >> New adjustment layer >> curves
RGB: 1st point ( Input: 196 , Output 153 )
GREEN: 1st point ( Input: 92 , Output 32 ) 2nd point (Input 196 , Output 193 )
BLUE: 1st point ( Input 52, Output 81 ) 1nd point ( Input 198, Output 195 )
3. Looks kinda nice already, so you can stop here if you want. If you want to keep going, make a new layer and fill it with # 0f2956 set to exclusion.
4. Layers >> Marge layers (Ctrl + E ) , duplicate your new base, set it to soft light and you are done! :D ..It is really easy and I love the result.
