How to go from Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting to Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting using Photoshop, as requested by [info]wecrash. Uses Selective Coloring, so is not translatable. Sorry!


Please note that these steps will not work with all bases; most likely you’ll need to fiddle with the settings to get the best results.

1) Start with a 100x100 base. Mine is of Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

2) Duplicate the base twice. Set the first one on screen, 60% opacity and the top one on soft light, 100% opacity. Merge the layers so you have a new base.

3) Create a new Selective Colors layer and put the following settings:
REDS
Yellow: +100

YELLOWS
Cyan: +100
Yellow: -55

NEUTRALS
Cyan: +3
Magenta: +3
Yellow: -10

Put the layer on normal, 90% opacity.

4) Create a new layer and fill it with a light blue (#8ECADA). Set the layer on soft light, 90% opacity.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting > Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

5) Duplicate that layer but change the settings to color burn, 70% opacity.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting > Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

6) Create a Hue/Saturation layer and change the saturation to +40.

7) Create a new layer and fill it with a light pink (#FFD6D6). Set the layer on soft light, 70% opacity.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting > Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

8) Create another new layer and fill it with a bright yellow (#FFFC00). Set the layer on soft light, 30% opacity.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting > Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

9) Create another new layer and fill it with a peachish color (#E7A076). Set the layer on soft light, 40% opacity.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting > Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

10) Create another Selective Color layer and use the following settings:

REDS
Cyan: -100
Magenta: +50
Yellow: +35

NEUTRALS
Cyan: -50
Yellow: -20
Black: +20

Keep it on normal, 100% opacity
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

11) Go all the way down to the bottom and duplicate your base. Bring it to the top and set it on luminosity, 70%. This step isn’t always necessary, but for this icon it helps bring back some of the definition without losing the coloring.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting > Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

12) Almost done now! Create a Hue/Saturation layer and set the saturation to +40.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And that’s it! It’s not exactly like the original, but it’s close enough for me.

Oooooo, very pretty! ♥ The colouring is so nice - this type of colouring is so hot right now! Dark blue exclusion was soooooooo last season! XD XD

BTW, I don't know if you've heard but there's a icon feeder community that just hotlinks heaps and heaps of people's icons. I saw this one for this tutorial here
