Tut for PS7
PS7 tut. for:
6 easy steps. So easy you'll feel dumb...

	Layer 1	I took this picture from here, resized and cropped it. I also sharpened it. The icon is 100x100 but I left a space on the top of about 10 pixels.
	Layer 1 copy	I duplicated the first layer and set it on screen.
	Screen	I used this gradient and set it on screen. (Opacity 100%)
	Layer 1 copy 2	I duplicated the first layer and set it on soft light.
	Gradient	I used this gradient from crumblingwalls and set it on multiply. (Opacity 50%)
	Result	And than, to finish my icon, I used a "border" brush that I made myself and added some text (Copperglate Gothic light 2pts) and voila! Nothing easier than this one, huh!!

	6 easy steps. So easy you'll feel dumb... haha. I feel like that everytime you post a tut. Cause they look so hard, and then you make them seem so easy! Thanks! (Reply to this)

	LOVE IT. I'm trying it right away on a Gilmore icon I've had saved incomplete for ages. Sometimes I can't figure out what would look good and just stash it away, and I think this might help out. :D And I'm definitely adding this to my memories - thank you! (Reply to this)

	Lovely tutorial! I added this to my memories and am about to go try it out :) Also - I know you just made one, so this is somewhat silly - but would you ever consider doing another? Like, maybe for this one or one of your other blue-themed icons? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I made it the same way with the same technique and same layers... the only difference is that I used a blue gradient (on screen) instead of an orange gradient... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mscreations 2005-08-28 05:08 pm UTC (link)
	oh ok! could you possibly post the blue gradient you used? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You know?
It's great to see that you as an icon maker I so admire, also doesn't use a lot of layers and other things. I love the more simple icons and you do that so amazingly well, though in a way they never look simple.

But this is a great tutorial. I love the way you displayed it and it was so easy to read. I love the way you created the color here, so I'm going to try that out soon. And thanks :D

	mscreations 2005-08-28 08:56 am UTC (link)
	I want to know who made it too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	chouchoune 2005-08-28 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	I made it. I made a black layer and than I used the foreground to transparent gradient... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	mscreations 2005-08-28 05:44 pm UTC (link)

	Not trying to but in - but different images get different results. Just play around with opacities and adding different layers. (Reply to this)(Parent)
