This is my very first icon tutorial that I've ever posted. I like the greeny coloring and this looks nice on a variety of pictures.
We'll be going from this
to this
.
1. Prepare your base. Crop, sharpen, lighten. My actual base was a bit darker, so I used a couple of screen layers on it. This really depends on your picture. If it's a dark screencap you may have to use a few screen layers. I used two on this one and then merged all.
2. New layer. Fill with #f2e4ce
. Set to Multiply, 100%.
3. New layer. Fill with #e2e2e2
. Set to Burn, 100%.
4. New layer. Fill with #02f2b5
. Set to Burn, 26%. Play with the opacity on this last layer a bit. It will depend on how green you want your icon to be and the lighting of the picture.
And voila, you're done!
