I really like the look of that icon. It's inspiring me to work on some more of my own. :)

[kaylii_xo]

Yeah I was proud of it ages ago when I made it haha! & you should make some, I'd love to see them, give me the link if you put some up! :] ♥

[chariot13]

i made both the ones i used in the replies here, but didn't really spend much time on either. I'll let you know if I decide to post any to the groups.

(And yay for Dexter! I love that show.)

[kaylii_xo]

Hope this isn't a dumb question: How many pixels should you set for feathering to achieve that perfect circle you got?

[kaylii_xo]

I just kept the feather at 0 px for the circle, did you try and it came out wrong?

[library_of_sex]

You know, it's very weird, but I use the Lasso Tool in PS 7.0, which makes a nice circle shape around what I select. Then, I paste it into the icon, and instead, I get what I selected but in a square shape! When I use stroke, you can see that the the white stroke is around the small square. I must be doing something wrong.

[kaylii_xo]

That's very weird..

But, did you say you're using the lasso tool for the circle? Because I'm using the Elliptical Marquee Tool for it :]
