Tutorial (PSP 8)

This is my fourth tutorial.

Go from this to this  on PSP 8

So start with this:

Then crop it 333x333 to this (by the way, the quality of the intermediate steps will not be so good, but that's because I save them under low qualities to save space and your loading time):

Then simply resize it to 100x100 (98x98 if your thinking of adding a 1 px thick border in the end. I didn't). Now, go to Adjust>>Sharpness>>Sharpen More. Then again Adjust>>Sharpness>>Sharpen.

Here's what I have now (but with better quality):

Now add a new layer. Flood fill the layer with #00037C and put it at Exclusion 100%:

Then use this grad:

and place it at Mutiply 100%:

Then use this gradient:

and place it at Soft Light 100%:

Then use this texture:

and place it at Soft Light 20%:

Then I used a brush that read "this is not THE END" and placed it as you see below with this color #DBA523.

 TA-DA!

Easy right? Ok now if you followed this tutorial maybe you could post your results. It'd be nice to see a few small changes since 10 identical icons aren't very fun!
