Lets first start out with our base


Depending on what picture you use, you might want to duplicate it and set it to Screen, but for this picture I'm just leaving it alone.

Now you are going to add the first Selective Colouring layer (Layers>New Adjustment Layer>Selective Colour)

REDS
Cyan: -100
Yellow: +30

YELLOWS
Cyan: -80
Yellow: +10

NEUTRALS
Yellow: +30
Black: -10

Your icon should look like this.


Then add another Selective Colouring layer (Layers>New Adjustment Layer>Selective Colour)

REDS
Cyan: -80
Yellow: +35

YELLOWS
Cyan: -75
Yellow: +8

NEUTRALS
Cyan: +22
Yellow: +5
Black: -10

Now your icon should look like this


Now you are go to add a Curves layer (Layers>New Adjustment Layer>Curves)
{This is also the step that you should play around with to get different effects}
