Tutorial #5
maxymama was asking over here how to make a particular image into a nice, clear icon.
My result:
Original cap that I snagged from qafmaniac's comment. Thanks Dear!
Here it is cropped & resized:
I copied the image and I did 'unsharp mask' with amount = 40:
I copied the image again and set 'sharpen' @ 30:
I added a new layer and filled it with color "b66708" and set it to overlay @ 40:
It will look like this:
I added a new layer and threw this texture on it set to screen @ 100:
Final result:
Totally my opinion of course....but I personally think the 'unsharp mask' filter is the most important tool in making clear icons. If someone else has any other tips feel free to throw in your 2 cents!
Hope this helps maxymama!
