Achieving this effect: in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0. Translateable. Should be fairly easy.

step one:
Crop and edit your base, prepping it for iconning. I duplicated the base twice and set both layers to Soft Light. If it's too contrasted, lower the opacity.

step two:
Now that you've made your base iconnable, you can play with it a little. I made a new adjustment layer by means of a hue/saturation layer. I upped the saturation by +20, but you might wanna go higher or lower. I made it a little lighter too -- +5.

step three:
Add this texture. I don't remember who made it. Obviously, I flipped to my liking, but you don't have to. Set to Multiply 100%.

step four:
One more texture. Set it to Screen 100%.

And you're done!

Achieving this effect: in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0, but is most likely translateable.

step one:
Crop your image and edit it as you like. With this image, I duplicated the base and set it to soft light 75%. You can use this step to edit anything else that might help your image look cleaner, like fixing the contrast or lightening it.

step two:
Layers > New Layer. Edit > Fill. Fill with #333366. Set this layer to exclusion and adjust the settings as you like. I made this one at 60%.

step three:
It might look a little washed out, so make a new adjustment layer > hue/saturation. Up saturation by +15 or less. I've never gone beyond +20 for one layer, personally, but if you like bright and colorful icons, you might be able to make the saturation higher.

step four:
New fill layer again! This time, fill it with #ff9999. Set this layer to multiply at 20% to give it a pastel color. You can use a blue or any other shade here as well, as long as it's a pastel. And you could probably make the settings higher or lower.

step five:
Hue/Saturation layer. Up the saturation by +10 and the hue by +5. Adjust the lightness as well, I went for +5.

step six:
Add this texture! Set it to screen and you're done. :D

Because apparently it's cool or something.

Comment with your community to affiliate with megassaicons. Icon communities are preferred, but I'll pretty much take whatever because I really don't care.
