Tutorials #04 and #05  
The first icon tutorial was online at the-butterfly.de for quite a time now, but I forgot to post it here. Shame on me. :-/ The second one is brand new. Hope you find it useful. :)





  1. Crop your image. Sharpen your base with filter -> sharpen - sharpen. Now blur the face a bit with the blur tool (size 5 / strength 15%).

  2. Double the layer twice, set to screen 100%. It has to be very light.

  3. New layer on top, filled with #FFF8D6, set to soft light 20%.

  4. New layer on top, filled with #DDDDDD, set to colour burn 100%.

  5. Create a new adjustment layer on top, colour balance -45 0 +85

  6. Create a new adjustment layer on top, colour balance -60 +20 +35

  7. Another new adjustment layer on top, hue/saturation. Set saturation to +25 to +35 (depends on what you like more)

  8. Done!
