Preparing a base

Ok, this tutorial is only staying up for a LIMITED TIME at my journal.  It's the
way a few of my bases are prepared and turned into icons.  I'll be
deleting the tutorial after some time, but I'll probably make another
tutorial soon.  Oh and I use PS7, but I think this tutorial is easy enough to translate to most programs.



From this: to this: in 6 steps.
