Question
I'm looking for a good icon tutorial. I want to start making icons again but I can't locate the one that I had used before or remember where I got it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Besides screen which I abuse the hell out of, I really like Color - Auto - Normalise & Brightness/Contrast. They're about the effects I use just about exclusively.
If something's very dark, copy the image into a new layer BELOW the soft light layer and set this to screen (you may need to then decrease the opacity until it looks nice).
If something's very light, copy the image into a new layer BELOW the soft light layer and set this to multiply (you may need to then decrease the opacity until it looks nice).
I basically have all of the above set up as actions, so I can go through a tonne of pictures easily.
