Basic Icon Colouring

Credit to my good friend; myspace.com/131907417; for the help with this.

We are going to start off with this image:




The first thing I always do is crop it, and sharpen (Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen)

- Add a selective colouring layer with these settings:
REDS: -100, +16, +100, 0
YELLOWS: -100, +13, +100, 0
CYANS: +100, +100, +100, 0
NEUTRALS: +25, -11, -20, 0

- Add another selective colouring layer with these settings:
REDS: -100, +16, +100, 0
YELLOWS: -100, +22, +100, 0
NEUTRALS: +17, 0, -20, 0
* Set this layer to 75% opacity!

-Add another selective colouring layer with these settings:
REDS: -10, +11, +21, 0
* Set this layer to 50% opacity!

- Add another selective colouring layer with these settings:
WHITES: -57, +12, +47, 0
NEUTRALS: +18, -7, -14, 0

-Add another selective colouring layer with these settings:
REDS: -58, +11, +93, 0

- Make a new layer and fill it with 032951. Set this layer to Exclusion at 50% opacity.

- Duplicate the base and drag it to the top of all the layers. Set this layer to Screen at 25% opacity.

- Paste this texture on top and set it to Lighten


- Paste this texture on top and set it to Screen.


Final Outcome:

nvm. i got it :D

okay. so im not very skilled in the ps department. how the flip do i get the texture on there? it's driving me crazy.

I have one question. I JUST got Photoshop today, so I'm not very skilled with it. I got all of the steps correct, but I'm not sure how to fill your layer.
That's it. I'm sure it's not hard, but I'm a little slow. Haha.

Thanks. Great tut(:

....i love him. Anywho, very helpful tut :]
