FIRST ICON TUTORIAL
Hello lovelies. :) You'll be learning how to make this today (made in PS CS, Maybe translateable for other programs too?):
Crop your base to 100x100
I didn't sharpen my base (I don't usually do), But if you want to you can ^^
Duplicate your base and set it to soft light (100%)
Flatten layers
New Adjusment layer > Curves
RED
IN: 152
OUT: 160
GREEN

BLUE

New Adjusment layer > Selective Color
Make sure it's check to "relative" not "absolute" (Check below the settings)
CYANS:
Cyan: -8%
Magenta: +22%
Yellow: -24%

New Adjusment layer > Color Balance
Midtones: -3, +1, +16
Let's leave shadows and highlights alone. :)
New Adjusment layer > Hue/Saturations

And you're done. You can put texts, borders, and play around with opacities and other color settings if you're not satisfied with that.
