>>Not translatable (selective coloring)
>>
1) Start with your base. I've already sharpened mine.
2) Add a white #ffffff layer. Set the layer to soft light.
Opacity: 73%
Fill: 66%
This layer lightens the image a little bit without losing contrast (like with a screened layer).
>>
3) Add a selective color layer with these settings:
Reds: -23, 0, +8, -11
Whites: 0, 0, +15, +11
Neutrals: 0, +3, 0, -4
Set the layer to soft light.
Opacity: 100%
Fill: 50%
This layer adds more contrast and a more natural coloring.
>>
4) Add a brown #652707 layer. Set it to soft light.
Opacity: 100%
Fill: 60%
This layer gives a more brownish coloring to the icon.
>>
5) Go to Layer>>New>>Layer...Click 'ok'
Now with a 10px #ffffff round brush make two lines framing Dean.
Go to Filter>>Blur>>Gaussian Blur
Radius: 9.5 pixels
It should end up looking like this:
>>
6) Take the selective color layer from step 3, duplicate it, and drag it to the top. It should still be 'soft light.'
Opacity: 100%
Fill: 58%
This layer keeps the new light part from looking washed out.
>>
7) Add a curves layer.
RGB
Input: 96
Output: 147
I use a curves layer to lighten up the image the rest of the way.
>>
8) Add a slightly modified texture (
) by rubber_dick
Set it to soft light.
Opacity: 100%
Fill: 70%
This texture gives the icon a very nice yellowish coloring, and it also helps emphasize the landscape.
>>
9) Add a slightly modified texture (
) by policromo
*I erased the part covering the trees, building, grass, and everything below.
Set it to 'multiply'
>>
10) Duplicate the sky texture. Set it to 'soft light'
>>
11) Duplicate again. Still 'soft light.'
>>
I added the two soft light layer over the multiply layer of the sky to give it a little more of a blue color and some more contrast.
And that's it! I hope I didn't miss anything, or explain anything poorly.
