I won Mod's Invitation severalplums@LJ and as per community rules, wrote a tutorial for my winning icon. I'm using Photoshop 7 and for this specific icon I used the adjustment layers Color Balance, Curves and Brightness/Contrast as well as the filter "Find Edges".

We're going from original.png to severalplums30_1.png

1) No flames! Be courteous to everybody.
2) If you think something is bad, please say so kindly and with constructive criticism. Tell the maker why you don't like something and be precise about it (e.g. too much contrast, too dark, too polarised, overladen, over sharpened...)
3) Please remember that not everybody knows the same terms as you do! It's called a language barrier and while someone may know the effect they might not be familiar with the English terms for it (especially the new makers)
4) When posting questions or tutorials, please tell us which program you used.
