Icon tutorial  
I made another tutorial because i'm B.O.R.E.D.

>>>

Base.



1.  Duplicate it twice set them both to screen.  Filter>Sharpen ONE of the screen layers.  Merge.



Now, this get's kinda tricky, BUT you're not gonna have it exactly like this anyway since your image will be different.  (note: I did this part last, so you may want to leave this section out and skip to step 6, and then come back to it)

2. Anyway.  Take this texture by [info]gender.  Then blur it.  Filter>Blur>Radial blur.  Make sure it's on spin and set it to 54ish, it's up to you.

>>>

3.OK.  So, what I did was take the texture, flip it (Edit>transform>flip horizontal) and set it to Linear burn.  (But I erased part of it, because I didn't like the way it looked at the end.  This depends on your image.  Don't erase it if you think it looks alright.)

>>>

4.  Now duplicate the texture but flip the texture back to how it was to start with (Edit>transform>flip horizontal).  It's still on Linear Burn 100%

>>>

5.  Duplicate it again,  set it to screen 100%.

>>>

All my texture layers combined looked like this.



Does this all make sense?  Basically you'll have Linear burn>Linear burn>Screen.

6.  Duplicate your base drag it to the top, set it to screen 64%.




7.  Do the same as step 6.  Set it to 24%



8.  Next, go back to your orginal image, only crop it differently.  Like so.  Set this to screen.

>>>

9.  Layer>New adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation.

Saturation: +30.



10. Layer>New adjustment Level>Selective colour.

Red
-52/ 0/ +19/ +20

Yellow
-6/ 0/ +31/ +3

Cyan

+100/ 0/ 0/ 0




11. Layer>New adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation.

Cyan
Saturation: +21

Blue

Saturation: +10



12.  Layer>New adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation.  Soft light 100%

Master
Saturation: +35

Red
Saturation: +14

Cyan
Saturation: +39



13.  Add this tecture by [info]brasaremean Linear burn 100%



14.  This by[info] [info]ewanism Linear burn 26%



My layer platlette


Any questions? No, I will not upload a .psd.  Other than that, ask away.
