 2. Duplicate the layer. 3. Go to Colors/Components/Color Mixer 4. I used these settings. You can adjust yours to whatever seems good for your icon. Output channel: Red Red: 185.2 Green: 0.0 Blue: -93.3 Output channel: Blue Red: 66.7 Green: -4.4 Blue: 60.7 My icon turned out to look like this after doing the color mixer.  5. Go to Colors/Color Balance. Again, these are just my settings, you can adjust yours to your liking. Highlights Cyan - Red: 26 Magenta - Green: -6 Yellow - Blue: -83 Shadows Cyan - Red: -100 Magenta - Green: -3 Yellow - Blue: 3 Midtones Cyan - Red: -98 Magenta - Green: 35 Yellow - Blue: 43 The result :  6. Merge all the layers by clicking CTRL + M and click on Clipped to image. 7. You can skip this step if you like. But since I like my icons to be nice and bright, I brightened it a little bit by going to Colors/Brightness-Contrast. Brightness: 6 Contrast: -2 8. Sharpen the icon. How much the sharpness you use depends on how your icon is. I myself used 54. You can sharpen your icon by going to Filters/Enhance/Sharpen. 9. Add some text, some brushes, and then you're done! End result (after playing around with it):  Other icons made with this:   I hope this tutorial helped you. :D This tutorial was made by ETAIN. |
