Wait is this my...first multi-fandom icon post?! *WOOTWOOT* (well other than my icontest entries post, but that doesn't count).
As always, comment, credit, no stealing, hotlinking, etc...oh and enjoy! :)
Constructive criticism is very welcome!

The only thing I can think of is that when you save it as a JPEG or JPG, you can select the quality of the image. In Photoshop you get a pop up windown asking you to move a pointer across a line from low quality to high quality. The higher the quality, the bigger the image gets in size, but as long as you stay under the 40kb rule for Livejournal icons (when you upload an icon as a userpic here, it can't be bigger than 40kb) it's fine.
The other thing that might help (but really, I'm not at all at home in all those technical things. I'm currently having a problem with colours being totally different on my computer or in Firefox, so I'm not making graphics at the moment :(), is selecting all the layers of your icon, then merging them or flattening the image and then save the icon as PNG. For me, PNG has given better results than JPEG, but I no tons of great icon makers who use JPEG.
But this is one of the questions that actually might be in the memories of icon_tutorial. If you use the archive, that would save tons of time.
I'm sorry I can't help you any better than this.
