The icons are great. Even with tuts I just can't make icons.

Awww...what do you have? Photoshop? Maybe if you actually got signed onto MSN I could HELP you...hmmmm? ;)

[eternitybreaks]

I have Adobe photoshop 7.0 and PSP 8.0

I am trying this out and having a hard time doing it, where is soft light? the third cpoy turn out to be in greyscale -_-

[graphicsbymandy]

Soft light is on the blending options. When you have the layer selected, there should be a drop down menu in the layers pallette that says stuff like normal, soft light, dissolve, etc.

If something turns out in greyscale, go to image>mode>rgb color.

Hope that helps. :) Let me know if it doesn't.

opps i have adobe photoshop, it it make a difference.

[graphicsbymandy]

That's what this tutorial is for...Adobe Photoshop 7.

[fantasy2004]

*sad* it not coming out. I can't even make an cool looking icon even it was the end of the world. *rolls away from the computer*

[graphicsbymandy]

If there's anything you think I'd be able to help you with, just ask (and be specific with the problem) and I'll try to help. If you have Photoshop 7 or above this should work.

[fantasy2004]

well I put in the color background from the one on you page and it turn out to be grey *man the color gry must like me or something, LOL* so I click on the other like mulitply it a softer kind of pic.

[graphicsbymandy]

And it didn't work when you went to image>mode>rgb color like I said?

[fantasy2004]

when I use desaturate it, it goes into grey scale. *starting over again*

[graphicsbymandy]

nonono....when you desaturate something, it's supposed to go to grey scale. But when you change it to Screen and continue with the tutorial, it won't be grey anymore.

You change the mode to screen on the same menu as soft light.

[fantasy2004]

this is the pic when I use Luminosity

[graphicsbymandy]

Is the texture under the picture of Nick? Also, which layer did you change to Luminosity? You should change the Nick layer to luminosity and keep the texture (which should be UNDER the layer with Nick) Normal.

[fantasy2004]

fixed it, hehe now it makes sense, So do I flatten it?, before I copy it?

[graphicsbymandy]

Um...not sure of the question. What step are you on? What was the last thing you did? If the tutorial says flatten the image, yes, but if it doesn't, then don't.
