Selective Colouring Icon Tutorial
Go from   to 

Okay this is my first tut so be nice! :D

NOTE: works best with light / light background images.

Step 1: Crop your base and duplicate it. Set to Soft Light 40%


Step2: Selective Color layer:
REDS: -100, +23, +100, 0
YELLOWS: +100, 0, -100, 0
NEUTRALS: +37, +31, -35, - 37


Step3: Selective Color Layer:
REDS: -100, 0, +100, 0


Step 4: Selective Color Layer:
REDS: -40, 0, 0, 0
NEUTRALS: +10, 0, 0, 0


Step 5: Fill Layer with #71E5A2

Set to Soft Light 57%


Step 6:
Add this texture (made by graven_rose)

Set to Multiply 40%
You can erase the parts over the face / main parts with a soft texture brush if you want

Step 7:
Merge all layers (ctrl+alt+e) and copy and paste your image into a new window.
Then resize it to 22pxls by 22 pxls
Drag three copies into your main icon and arrange in a row like so:

Then add a stroke to each mini square (make sure you stroke the inside not the outside)


Step 8: With your first min square, go Image: Adjustments: Hue/Saturation. Then saturate +30
With the second min square, go Adjustments: Hue/Saturation. Then saturate -15
Then with the third mini square, desaturate (ctrl+alt+u)

Add text or mini text if you want!


THE END! Hope you like your results.
