Using Photoshop 7

Pick out your image and crop it to 100x100 pixels. Your going to want to make sure that your image is nice and bright, so prep your image however you feel suits your icon best
(I duplicated my base image twice, set the first layer to screen @ 100 and the second to soft light @ 33%)

Create a selective coloring layer.
My goal was to really bring out the reds and the greens
feel free to tweak it to suit your image.
REDS: -100 // 100 // 100 // 0
YELLOWS: -100 // 100 // 100 // 0
NEUTRALS: 0 // -20 // 0 // 0


I wanted the icon to have a softer bluish feel with brighter reds
Make another selective coloring with these settings:
REDS: -100 // 16 // 84 // 0
NEUTRALS: 0 // -6 // -14 // 0


Now, make a new layer and flood it with the color 652600.
Set it to exclusion at 34%


Create another layer and fill it with 88815D. Set that layer to darken at 9%


Create one more layer filled with 88815D and set it to soft light at 76%


Now, make one last selective coloring layer and put in these settings:
REDS: 64 // 2 // 23 // 0
YELLOWS: -30 // 20 // 29 // 0
NEUTRALS: 16 // 5 // -8 // 0


I also sharpened my finished image, but this is optional, of course
