A wallpaper walkthrough to make this -




Done in Photoshop, no idea if it will work with other s/w. I don't think this is Beginner friendly but you can decide for yourself. :)

- Experiment. Don't put in the same values as me. They won't work on every picture.

Ok, so I am making a LOT of icons these days and pitying people who are in my graphics community for the tutorials. I guess I will be starting a separate icon journal. Anyone open for a collaboration?

I am currently obsessed with How I met your mother and Criminal Minds so these are the two shows I icon the most. I also make Bollywood(hindi movies) related icons frequently. And umm..cricket maybe? And Harry Potter if I am REALLY inspired. A lot of stock icons too. :D

p.s. - I don't make horrible icons, I swear.
pps - Where would you like me to post resources? With the icons? With the tutorials? A new community? Or should I just forget the idea and let them all be here itself?

Thanks!

This is a series of tutorials which talks about the different tools and techniques for doing color corrections in Photoshop(or psp for that matter). Treat this more like a guide, well you can't treat it any other way.

So, you have an image which you want to icon. But it's horribly pink. I would just dump that image and take another one. BUT, if you're less lazy or you HAVE to icon that image, you get in a fix about what tool to use for the same. This guide, though in no way 'accurate' by the book, will tell you how color adjustments work and what tool should be used where.

We will be covering -

Basic Theory
Color Balance
Levels
Curves(this post)
Selective Coloring
Replace Color
Hue/Saturation
Manually changing the color(when you get REALLY desperate)

( because it is fun to use Curves )
