Tutorial #4 [Yoshiko Endo]
I've made another icon I'm proud of and decided to put together a tutorial for it. I hope it's of some use to you. :)
Turn this:
into this:
Made with PSCS -- not translatable to other programs since it involves Selective Coloring [sorry if you don't like that :P]
Level of difficulty, I think is around medium -- you need to have a basic knowledge of PS and the way it works because I'm not going to explain how to get to these things -- if you want to know, ask, but yeah, I won't explain it in the tutorial.
\^___^/ Here we go!
1. Starting off with our base image, let's crop it down to 100x100. Don't do anything to the image.
2. Next, make a new Curves Adjustments Layer and use the following settings:
Result:
3. Our image is really yellow (if yours isn't, either skip this step or play with the settings on Color Balance), so let's make a new Color Balance Adjustment Layer and use the following settings:
Midtones: -57 0 +52
Shadows: +10 0 +11
Highlights: +5 0 -10
Result:
4. Our icon looks better now, ne ^^ It's a little dark, but nothing a little Selective Coloring won't fix! ^^ Make a new Selective Color Adjustment Layer and use the following settings [Note: play around with the numbers since every picture will create a different effect!]:

Yellows:

Whites:
