I did one at my photoshop, but I'm confused on how can I rasterize a layer. I know this might be a stupid question, but I'm new to this coloring technique thing, but I really wanna learn, and the result of my work is kinda like yours(I just used a different picture). Your tutorial is very easy to follow and I added ot to my mems for future reference. I would really appreciate if you can teach me how to rasterize a layer to photoshop.

Thanks. ♥

These are the icons I came up.

With my own pic.

NOT a stupid question - I never even knew what a Raster layer was until I asked someone one day, so I've been there! I use Paint Shop Pro, so I think that the lingo is different from Photoshop. Basically, a Raster Layer is a "clear" or "blank" layer. You should try looking in all your menus for something like "Layer" or "New Layer" and I believe you'll find something similar. But your icons turned out really great, and your Angelina version of mine came out so close, I think you did everything right!

You should ask your question on icon_tutorial - you'll DEFINITELY have some Photoshop people there to help you! Sorry if this didn't help that much.

No, not at all. :D

Actually, I kinda figured it out, although not much, but I'm satisfied with the outcome of my icons, although I will not be that satisfied until I ask those peeps at icon_tutorial. But I appreciate your effort in getting back to me. I really do. And your icon samples are really great.

Thanks again :) ♥
