How to go from this: to this: in 2 easy steps.

1. Duplicate you base, and set it to soft light.

2. Go to layer>>new fill layer>> solid colour. On the drop down menu thingy set the blending mode to colour burn, leave the opacity at 100%. Fill with #6B9EEC. You may need to play around with the opactity depending on your image.

You get .

Hope this helps, and I can't wait to see your results!

To this:

1. Open image, and sharpen.

2. Duplicate base 3 times.

First: Softlight, 100

Second: Softlight, 30

Third: Screen, 10

3. Layer> New Fill Layer> Solid color.

5C6AF4, set to Color Burn, 40.

Another New Fill Layer.

FFC5FA, set to Softlight, 30.

4. Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Selective coloring.

My settings:

Red:

Cyan: -23

Magneta: 2

Yellow: 23

Black: 3

Set this layer to Softlight, 40.

5. Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Hue/Saturation.

Saturation: 30.

6. Now get your text tool, and write whatever you want (it works better in White). Right click the text layer, and go down to Blending options. Select "Drop Shadow", and "Outer Glow" Click ok.

Using this tutorial I went from this to this I'm really happy with the end result. Thanks .Cat.

I'm following a tutorial, and at the risk of sounding stupid I have a question. I'm given a picture of a texture and I'm told to "drag it onto your icon" I used the selection tool and then when I dragged it onto my icon it was no longer visible. Does anybody know where I am going wrong?

I wonder if you got to flatten the layers..?

Go to adjust-dublicate and try and use the 2nd one to "play with" Then go to layers-flatten image.

Can't really rememeber as I don't have photoshop or anyother program on this computer
