I don't know an exact tutorial but maybe some of these icon tutorials can help you come up with how to get that?
http://dawn-icons.livejournal.com/3633.html The glowy stuff looks like those light textures for icons. Theres alot of those around. Edit// Or look at this too: http://community.livejournal.com/weapon_ic...940.html#cutid1 Click on the icon you want to see the tutorial for. |

So I don't know the exact method obviously but that can be done by duplicating the layer you want to soften and use a 1-3px gaussian blur. Lower the opacity of the blurred layer (~50 but it depends on the image). The star brushes also add to the soft and glow effect. :)

you can also change the mode it's on like instead of normal do soft light, screen, etc.

I think those two are the ones I know of. You can try going through other icon livejournal communities.
Plus after you try a lot of those you can pretty much come up with your own technique. http://community.livejournal.com/icon_tutorial/ or http://community.livejournal.com/icontutorials/ http://users.livejournal.com/_iconographer/ |
