(these are not the exact same ones you requested, but the procedure is the same since I had to remake them.)
to
Difficulty: Easy
Contains: Brightness/Contrast, Curves, and color balance.
Translatable?: Yep.
.PSD: Yes xD
1. Prepare your base.
2. I duplicated the base layer then smudged the duplicated layer till I was happy. Then I erased some parts from the duplicated layer that was part of leighton. Merge Visible (CTRL + SHIFT + E).
3. I duplicated the merged layer and set it to SCREEN at 100% opacity. (This would depend on your picture.)
4. Brightness/contrast layer: -9, 9
5. Color balance:
M: -10, -21, -7
S: -10, -10, 0
H: 0, 0, -6
6. Curves Layer:
RGB
First point
Input: 97
Output: 94
Second point
Input: 179
Output: 190
7. Copy merge the layer (CRTL ALT SHIFT E). Sharpen it. EDIT>>Fade sharpen lower the opacity to your liking.
8. Now this step is mostly texture work.
- I got a soft brush (about 45-60 px) and place only two dots around leighton. I set them on NORMAL at 21%.
- I used this texture (icons_are_hot and set it on SOFTLIGHT at 20%.
- I used this texture (??) and set it on SCREEN at 9% and I erased some parts I didn't like.
-I used this texture (??) and set this on SOFTLIGHT at 40% FILL. I erased the parts that were covering leighton.
And ta-da, ICON! :D

Difficulty: Medium
Contains: Channel Mixer, Selective coloring, curves, brightness/contrast.
Translatable?: Afraid not.
.PSD: Yep. I suggest you read the tutorial first though, since it's hard to understand w/o it.
1. Prepare your base. Mine didn't need much.
2. I used the eyedrop tool and chose a color from the background that would suit emma and that would blend easier with the background. I colored emma's background leaving only emma's head left.
3. I duplicated the base and placed it on top. I set it on SOFTLIGHT at 100% and I erased the parts from the background.
4. Brightness/Contrast Layer: -13, -12
5. Curves Layer:
RGB
First point
Input:43
Output: 72
Second point
Input: 146
Output: 181
RED
First point
Input: 155
Output: 168
GREEN
First point
Input: 167
Output: 185
BLUE
First point
Input: 100
Output: 70
Second point
Input: 160
Output: 175
6. New fill layer: #f6a9c8 set on SOFTLIGHT at 100%
7. Duplicate the base and bring it to the top. I set it to SCREEN at 100%. Erase the background, leaving only the head or any other body part you want.
8. Channel mixer layer:
RED
R: +82
G: +18
B: +14
GREEN
R: -2
G: +108
B: 0
BLUE
R: -14
G: +24
B: +92
9. New Fill Layer: #f9cd9b set on MULTIPLY at 30%.
10. Get this texture (marishna) and set it on SOFTLIGHT at 100% (if you want better results, go to her LJ and search for textures with cloudy effects on them.)
11. Curves Layer:
RGB
First point
Input: 82
Output: 34
Second point
Input: 194
Output: 144
12. Copy merge (CTRL ALT SHIFT E)and set this layer on SOFTLIGHT at 40%. erase the background leaving only her head or any part of your subject.
13. I used a soft brush about 40-60 px and I placed a dot around emma and the background. I used the smudge tool and smudged it to places where I wanted it to *shine*. I set that to SOFTLIGHT at 100%.
14. (>_<) New fill layer: #efeeec and I set it on LINEAR BURN at 100%. Gives a muted yet conrasted look.
15. Selective Coloring:
BLACKS
Black: -20
16. Curves Layer
RGB
First point
Input: 57
Output: 69
Second Point
Input: 159
Output: 172
RED
First point
Input: 153
Output: 170
BLUE
First point
Input: 150
Output: 160
17. Using another soft brush (40-60 px) I place a dot on emma's head and set it to NORMAL at 21%.
18. Copy merge (CTRL ALT SHIFT E) then set that layer on MUTLIPLY 100% then you erase the background.
19. Copy merge again (CTRL ALT SHIFT E) then you sharpen it. Edit>>Fade sharpen then you lower the opacity to your liking.
20. Make it a bit darker by using a Brightness/Contrast layer and setting the Brightness option to -6.
21. Copy merge everything and set that layer to OVERLAY at 5%.
And you're done! :)
