Extracting images from backgrounds tut

How to go from this:

to something kinda like this:


Very Image Heavy, as usual. Dial-uppers, beware!

Made using Adobde Photoshop CS











Then you can crop the image as you see fit and do whatever you want afterwards. This is merely a set of simple steps you can take to remove an image from a background.

The font I used it Black Castle, and it's beveled and embosses with a 3px red stroke and a 1 px gray stroke on the outside of the text.

I can't remember the brushes I used, but a few of them can be found in a tut by rotncandy Hope this is helpful! The beauty of graphic editing is you can customize to your hearts content. I didn't show all my steps for this particular icon, because imagination is something I am very fond of. please share what you come up with using this method. Cheers!


Happy icon Making!
BTW: Thanks to all those that responded to my last question.
