OK so today i am going to show you how to lighten an image, and to have some fun. The image i used for this tutorial was a cap so im going to also show a nifty little thing i do when it comes to cropping an icon. If i feel the need to say something that doesn't really reply to this tutorial i am going to add it with a * next to it. Ready? Lets go!

This is the icon we are going to be making;
