"House" Icon Tutorial
</td>





<table cellpadding="0">
------------------------------------------------
From-To-
1. Sharpen your base
2. I selected the icky red-colored background and removed the color (desaturate)
3. Duplicate your base 4 times, and set the first three to screen at %100
4. Set the top duplicate to softlight at %100
Here is where I'm at now
5. create a new layer and fill with #b4b4b4 set to color burn at %100
6. create a new layer and fill with #003157 set to exclusion at %100
7. create a new layer and fill with #b2fbfe set to color burn at %100
8. create a new layer and fill with #00ff8a set to softlight at %20
Here is where I'm at now
9. copy your base and bring it to the top, competely desaturated, set on softlight at %60
Here is where I'm at now
10. Merge all layers, and create a new layer filled with black
11. Take any circle brush and paint a white line and then blur it to your liking
12. Set this layer to screen at %100
And your done :)

Hey thanks. But are you sure you posted the right hex color in step 8 because when I tried it it totally screwed up the colors

right color, wrong percentage. totally my fault.

lol, thats why i never post these things. i whip throught these tutorials so fast and i don't bother to check my own work. thanks for the heads up.

i just took the custom selection tool and traced along his body outline until i had only the background. then i removed all the color (desaturated completely).

Wow I feel like an idiot for not figuring out the black layer thing. I thought you had to apply a curve and all these other things. Thanks!
