image heavy-ish, i guess.



1. crop your picture to the basic icon size. then sharpen.

->

2. duplicate your base and set to softlight. then desaturate. now, go to colors>adjust>brightness/contrast (i don't know where it is in earlier or later versions) and set the brightness to 50 and leave the contrast as zero. do not flatten.

->

3. new raster layer. fill with #000040, a dark blue. set blend mode to exclusion, opacity 100.

->

4. new raster layer. fill with #FFE0B3, a beige. set blend mode to multiply, opacity 100.

->

5. now duplicate your BASE, not the already desaturated duplicate, and drag to the top. desaturate and set to softlight.

->

6. duplicate that duplicate twice.

->

this is how your layers should look like:


sorry i put it off for so long. i was busy doing, well, unimportant stuff. =/

again, results will vary with different pictures. sometimes you don't have to mess with the brightness/contrast and sometimes you just have to duplicate the duplicate once.

if there's something you don't understand, feel free to ask! =D
