This was actually complicated. I initially wanted to make it a blue icon, but had no luck with that, but I think it turned out pretty good in the end. I may have also been distracted sa pamamagitan ng the absolute hotness in the icon...ahem...
Okay, so first I took the center image of this and cropped it.
And after giving up on making it blue, I deeply sighed and created a curves layer.
Input: 127 Output: 128
It only changed the icon a bit, but I was just so done I was glad even for that.
I added a vibrance layer.
Vibrance: +50, Saturation: +20
I stamped the layers and used variations. I attempted using blue variations but that didn't do any good either. So I just went with yellow, red, lighter. (Do not change the order.)
I set the layer to 50% opacity, and I actually liked the result, considering I was basically tearing my hair out at this point.
So here I decided to go with a beige/yellowish color. I used litrato filter and set the colour to #ecc300
Density is 25% and preserve luminosity is checked.
It gave it a nice tint, but I wanted it to be madami intense, so I created a Hue/Sat layer.
Sat: +20
Lightness: +5
I was really loving the colours and patting myself on the back sa pamamagitan ng this time, but, of course, that wasn't it. Layers time!
The first layer I sued was this one, all I did was ilipat it so that the coloured line on the left ceased to show, and set it on screen. I did not resize it.
The segundo texture was this one. I set it on colour burn and 50% opacity.
The third one I set to soft light at 26% opacity. I actually resized it to 100x100 this time.
result:
Not too shabby, but the colours are still too dull. So I used another texture. This one also gave a special light blob effect because of the flying white leaves it has. I set it to over lay, 58% opacity and 54% fill.
And then I added a black and white gradient fill layer. I set it to soft light with 33% opacity and 65% fill.
Afterwards, I stamped the layers and went to filter > blur > gaussian blur. The radius was 3.4 and the layer settngs were soft light, 33% opacity and 14% fill. It didn't change much, but it added a minor soft effect. And we're done.
Do ask if you have any questions.
