How to go from
this:
to this:
using selective coloring.
1. Crop you image just the way you want it.
2. Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Hue/Saturation
Hue - 0
Saturation - 30
Lightness - 0
3. Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Selective Color
Reds
Cyan: 100%
Yellow: 100%
Yellows
Cyan: -100%
Yellow: 100%
Neutrals
Cyan: 100%
Yellow: -100%
The other ones should just be set to 0 (zero).
4. Go to the base layer (Layer 1) and duplicate it (ctrl+j) and set it to screen - Opacity 100%
If you want the icon to be even britgher, duplicate the screened layer again.
I chosed to make another screened layer, but with Opacity 70%.

Hope you understood everything. And I would really like to see your results.
