i have no idea to be honest, i think i might be a little too hard on my self. to me it just doesn't look clear enough. that'd be awesome! my steps:

i crop the image first.
second, i CRTL + ALT+ M , is the auto smart fix it sorta makes it a bit brighter.
third, CTRL + L to adjust the brightness.
fourth, sharpen it.
fifth, re size the image and then save.

i like how this icon is;

but i'm not sure how to do that.

	Don't sharpen before you re-size. Sharpening should be the last thing you do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
