Icon Tutorial

From this To this
In PS CS. Uses selective colouring.
1) Take your original image and crop, sharpen and smooth as required. (I actually like to duplicate the base, sharpen it and then reduce the opacity as desired)
2) Duplicate your base and set it to screen, opacity 67.
3) Duplicate your base again and set it to soft light, opacity 25.
4) Duplicate your base again, desaturate it and set it to soft light, opacity 37
5) Create a gradient fill layer (or create a new layer and fill it with a gradient) and using this gradient (from Advanced Photoshop I think) set the layer to pin light, opacity 26
6) Create a Selective Colour adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Colour) and set it to: Reds: -81 -16 +23 0 Yellows: +33 +18 -44 0 Neutrals: +3 0 +5 0
7) Create a Selective Colour adjustment layer and set it to: Reds: +13 -4 -6 0 Yellows: +14 0 -6 -25 Neutrals: +17 +1 -3 -4
8) Create a Selective Colour adjustment layer and set it to: Reds: -25 +4 +7 0 Yellows: 0 +8 +9 0 Neutrals: -3 0 0 0
9) Create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation) and set it to: Satuation: +11
10) Create a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast) and set it to: Brightness: +4 Contrast: +8
11) Paste this desaturated version of a texture by (?) into a new layer, above the screened copy of the base and below the two soft light layers, and set it to screen, opacity 57. I also erased part of the texture so that it wasn't covering Fernando.
12) Create a new layer between the hue/saturation layer and the brightness/contrast layer. With a large soft brush paint on the layer with the colour #005395. Set it to lighten, opacity 100. On this icon the blue is down the left hand side.
13) Add a large soft orange (#C83827) circular brush onto a new layer and set it to lighten, opacity 100. On this icon it's down in the bottom right corner.
14) To finish the icon off I added some decorative text below the screened version of the base (above the sharpened copy of it) and changed the opacities until I was happy with how they looked.
My layers look like this.
Another icon made with similar layers is this one. The main difference is the addition of an exclusion layer between the screened and soft light versions of the base. Create a new layer and flood fill it with #160744 and set it to exclusion, opacity 24. The layers for this icon look like this.
