Hi, today we'll be learning how to colour those oh so dark screencaps. We'll be making a bright icon using a screencap from skins, as shown above. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, make sure to post your results!

1. Get your base ready. Make sure to use a screencap, otherwise it will look... crazy.
2. Duplicate your base, and set the duplicate to Screen left at 100%.
3. Duplicate your second copy of your base, and it should be on Screen at 100%.
4. Repeat Step 3.
5. Duplicate your fourth copy of your base, and set it to Softlight at 11%.
