I really like how the coloring came out on a banner I made so I decided to turn it into icons...and then into a tutorial. Enjoy!

1. Start off with your base cropped to 100x100. Sharpen if needed. A darker base works better with this tut, but if your base is lighter, just lower the opacity or omit the screen layers.
2. Add a Brightness/Contrast level with the Contrast at +15
3. Duplicate your base, bring it to the top and set it to Screen.
4. Add a Hue/Saturation layer at +15
5. Add an Exclusion layer with 0A1830.
6. Duplicate your base again 2 times, setting the first to Screen and the second to Soft Light.
7. Selective Coloring:
R: -100, 100, 100, 100
Y: -100. 0, 100, 0
G: 100, 100, 100, 10
C: 100, 100, 100, 100
set this to soft light.
8. Another Selective Coloring:
R: -100, 0, 100, 0
Y: 100, 0, -55, 0
N: 100. 0, -40, 0
9. Add a layer of F79B7D set to Soft Light at 55%
10. Add a layer of E7B57F set to Color Burn at 20%
