EDIT: You will notice all the pictures are removed. But the tut still stands. If you need the pictures back let me know. This tut should still be good w/o them though! Sorry to everyone who added this to mems.

I present to you a very simple 13 step icon tutorial…

mm i got stuck at the adding of polariod frame part..
first, do i use the "paintbrush" to stamp onto the new layer?

secondly.. i cant seem to get the "white" border of the polaroid which yours had... mine is.. black.. The inside part which i'm supposed to hit delete is black though..

can you tell me what's wrong?

[tragic_miko1301]

If you are using the actual paintbrush, then you will want to create a new layer (with a white base) and make sure you have the paintbrush set to 100 size, 100 hardness, 25 step, 100 density, 100 thikness and 100 opacity. Set your paintbrush color to black. Then stamp the paintbrush on the new layor. I stamped it 2 times in the sames spot to make it a bit darker and more distressed. (but that is all to your likeing

sorry for the wrong post just now..

I only got to the step right before adding the brush and decided I liked the way it looked too much to continue. (And besides, I don't have an animation program, so it would have looked odd with all the noise)... So here's my result:

[tragic_miko1301]

That looks great! ^_^(I agree adding noise would have been weird xD)

Thank you for sharing and Thank you for adding this tutorial!
