Icon Tutorial

From this To this
In PS CS, but transferable
1) Take your original image and crop, sharpen and smooth as required.
2) Duplicate your base and set it to screen, opacity 58
3) Paste this gradient by (?) into a new layer and set to soft light, opacity 38.
4) Create a new layer and fill it with #0B0C29 and set it to exclusion, opacity 100.
5) Create a new layer and fill it with #A2D4FF and set it to colour burn, opacity 100.
6) Create a new layer and fill it with #A2D4FF (again) and set it to soft light, opacity 70.
7) Create a new layer and fill it with #E9C1EC and set it to colour burn, opacity 13.
8) Duplicate the base layer and drag it to the top, setting it to soft light, opacity 80.
9) Paste this texture by into a new layer and set to screen, opacity 100.
10) I masked out the texture over Veronica so that it wasn't covering her up and hiding her pretty face ;)
11) I created a new layer above the texture and added a 'border' down one side of the icon in #030A18, and under the texture I added a deep red blotch and set it to screen, opacity 100.
