This is a really good tutorial. I think you should post a link to it in icon_tutorial so more people can see it :)

Thanks! I was actually planning to, but didn't get around to doing it yesterday. :)

I like tutorials like this that help me improve my Photoshop skills :) I've just recently got a graphics tablet, and this sort of thing is really good for learning how to use that. I haven't made it into an icon, but I followed the second tutorial, using a couple of non-iconsized light textures, and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

It's always interesting to see what you come up with in terms of effects. :) I'm glad these could help you at least a little bit!

Very nice tutorial for a simple yet vibrant effect. I have one question, I know it is part of the original Picture but does anyone know of a way to get other pics to have that burnt edge look? I can think of uses, but never thought to ask.

I think that you could get it by using brushes. I know teh_indy has a brush set which has ripped paper, so if you create 3 layers and use the brush in three different colors (white, maroon, and orangy/brown), and eraser certain parts, you could probably get the same effect as the picture. I'll see if maybe I could create a tutorial for that. :)

Thanks for the tutorial-- I used it to make my first icon. Sloppy, but the tutorial was awesome for beginners, definitely specific enough that I could follow it having never used my Photoshop program before. Now I just need to work on more finesse when I use the tools :)

It looks good. :) But I find that it's easier when you use a photo with a background (and not just of the person). Not only does it make the light texture look better, it also means you don't have to go around the edges carefully erasing the background around the hair etc. But, I'm just lazy, hehe.
