Photoshop Elements

I thought I'd try and make an icon tutorial, and this is by using Adobe Photoshop Elements (Which is just the basics of Adobe Photoshop.) So here goes....

>>


Start with your base picture.


Next you need to crop it and resize it to 100 x 100


Then add a new layer. Next, add this Gradient (Made by me) and set to Screen
>>

Duplicate the base layer twice, and set the first duplicated layer to Screen and then the second one to Overlay and set it to 50%


Return to the Gradient layer and go into Filters>>Blur>>Gaussian Blur and set it too 6.


Add a new layer and add this fill brasaremean and set it to Soft Light.
>>

Next add another layer and add this texture innercitylights and set it too Screen.
>>

Next add another layer and add this texture inxsomniax and set it to Soft Light.
>>

Then add another layer and add this texture innercitylights and set it to Screen 50%.
>>

Then add a new layer, and add this Texture innercitylights and set it to Screen.
>>

Then add wording. All you have to do is go to the bottom right corner, and type in "don't turn away from me" at text size 3.5 and font Arial, and set it at Normal 75%


Then duplicate the base layer, moving it to the the front, and set it to Lighten.


And that's your finished product.

I hope it wasn't to confusing. I tried to word it correctly, but if you get confused then ask me and I'll see if I can help without getting us both confused. Hope it's okay!
