Hello, a somewhat more involved tutorial of brightening of an icon base. Comments are always loved :)

Program:PSP9
Level:Easy

Go from
to



1) I screen capped this base personally from COS>cropped and resized to 100x100>sharpened twice



2)Use the soften tool and the smudge tool at a low opacity to carefully smooth out her skin. Be careful around the eyes and lips. I find using a smaller brush size and magnifying the icon to 400-500% helps loads. You can be very pricise which is good.



3)Duplicate the base twice>set both layers to scree


>>

4)Create a new layer>fill it with a dark blue (#12193e)>set to exclusion at 65%





5)Create a new layer>fill it with a very light tan>se to burn at 50%





6)Merge all the layerse

7)Create new layer>fill with the same dark blue>set to exclusion at 50%



8)Creat new layer>fill with a bit darker tan>set to multiply at 50%





9)Duplicate the base picture>drag to the top>desaturate>set to luminance at 50%


>>

10)Go to Enhance photo>automatic contrast enhancement> bias:Darker strength:Normal apperance:Bold



11)Paste on this texture by unknown>set to soft light at 50%





And you are done!!
