PLEASE DON'T COPY THIS ICON, USE THE STEPS TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT IS YOUR OWN; THAT'S MAKES IT MORE FUN, ANYWAY :)

- Cropped this image that I got from MuggleNet.com down to a 100x100 base. Then duplicated that base and set the duplicated layer to soft light 70%.



- Created a Selective Coloring Adjustment Layer with the following settings:

**RESULTS WITH THESE EXACT SETTINGS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR IMAGE**

Neutrals: +20 | +10 | +20 | 0

Set the layer to Color 100%:



- Created another Selective Coloring Adjustment Layer with the following settings:

Reds: -31 | +6 | +35 | 0
Yellows: -95 | 0 | -80 | 0
Neutrals: +44 | -3 | -6 | 0

Set the layer to Color 100%:



- Created a Color Balance Adjustment Layer with the following settings:

Shadows: -10 | 0 | +10
Midtones: +10 | 0 | -10
Highlights: 0 | 0 | -12

Set the layer to Color 100%:



- Upped the Contrast by +5:



- One more Selective Coloring Adjustment Layer, with the following settings:

Reds: 0 | 0 | +10 | -10
Yellows: 0 | 0 | +5 | -10
Greens: +100 | -50 | +100 | +50
Cyans: +100 | -10 | -100 | +10
Blues: +100 | -10 | -100 | +10
Magentas: -100 | +100 | 0 | 0
Neutrals: +10 | +7 | 0 | +3

Keep layer set to Normal 100%:



- Next move the image down a bit (you'll have to used a duplicated layer if you've merged at all). Select the protion above the layer you just moved down and fill it with a red (#A81C18):



That's all!

**Opacities for layers may vary depending upon your image; don't be afraid to experiment!**

Hope this helps someone!
