Oooo this is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Now I need to go find a photo I can use to try it! Lol.

No problem, I'm glad you like it!
I'd love to see anything you come up with :)

This post is right on the line of the minimum standard for inclusion in this community. Although you have included the rudiments of "what," consider adding more "how" and "why" in the future. The point, for the community, is about the explanation, not about the recipe.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.
I think I was just trying to make it as easy to follow as possible that I guess I just didn't include enough information. I'll try to remember this for next time.

I like that this was short and to the point. I get lost with millions of adjustment layers and such :) Thank you!

[sweetiepebbles]

No problem!
That's what I was going for so I'm glad everything worked out for you :)

Thanks for this! Added to my memories. I like that your tutorial was pretty simple to follow along with. The fact that you use GIMP is a nice bonus. =D

I tried it out on an icon I was working on, and this is what I got before I put the light texture:

Those look great! The light texture doesn't always work for all icons, but I like to play around and see what goes. :)
Thanks for showing me the results, this is the first time I've ever seen the result of someone using my tutorial! :D

Thank you for this tutorial :) I found it quite useful for an icon I wasn't too sure what to do with once I'd cropped it.

No problem! I'm glad it was useful :D
