Just a simple icon tutorial
We'll go from this 
to this 
This tutorial is for beginners, I guess because it's so basic. I discovered it while fooling around in psp 9. Not much images, unfortunately but it's really easy to follow.
Step one- Duplicate your base image. Screen at 100 opacity
Step two- Create a new layer for text or anything you want (as for me, i like my icons plain). Add another layer fill with this light texture I made myself out of a background image
. set to screen again at 88 opacity.
Step three- Duplicate your base image again. set to soft light at 64 opacity.
Step four- New layer fill with a default gradient- duotone light blue. set to screen at 54 opacity.Edit: Oops, forgot to add: Merge All- Flatten.
There you go! A nifty little jennifer aniston icon. Heheh. Really simple, huh?
