Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time.

This is my first time posting a tutorial... here it goes.



It's REALLY simple and with pictures. Using basic layers, everyone should be able to use it.

On PSCS2, I made a custom shape, and I had to use a path for me to be able to define it. BUT I can't figure out HOW to get rid of the path after I defined it. Can someone please tell my how to fix this?

edit:I figured out thank you guys :)

I just downloaded GIMPshop today and I'm extremely happy cause it beats my old program. I can do a lot of things photoshop can do(except selective coloring). Anyway's does anyone know how to achieve these two colorings using curves and/or color layers? If you can just point me to a tut, or something. It'd be great. I'm looking for exact, but similar works too.

How do I get white things away?

Hey, this is an uber stupid q. But is there a selective coloring effect/setting on PSP 8? Or something that does the same effect only under a different name?

Thanks in advance. x3

Alright. 
Question:

When I make my own brushes on Photoshop [7.0]...I'd like to save them as a default brush as .abr on my list to use whenever I please, without having to go back and remake it, or selecting 'Define brush' or whatever under 'Edit' all over again...How can this be achieved?

I have downloaded and installed in my PSCS2 a pack of brushes polaroid, but now I do not know how to use them. They don't work as the others? I mean you select the brush that you want, select the color and use it?
Thanks in advance!

Basically we'll be coloring this image. This is more or less just a tutorial on black&white manga scan coloring since I'm sick and tired of seeing BASE + COLOR MULTIPLY LAYER icons. D: Srsly. This was done with Photoshop CS2 but should be fairly translatable.

This is LONG and will take you a fair bit of time, so be forewarned. :x

( Follow the yellow brick road~ )

I am looking for methods/tutorials for this type of coloring:



&/or any of these following types:

OROR

I searched through the mems & I went back about a dozen pages searching for something similar, but everytime I thought I found something it was blehh...

So if anyone could link me to a tutorial or two that produces similar results as any of these, I'd be eternally in their debt. =]

Icons all by the magnificent luosxterces.

OK, so I'll just cut to the chase. I'll be just making icons or whatever and all of a sudden my cursor will turn into this:

*Thanks in advance*

Can somebody help me?

How can we magic wand out a white background when it's mistaking the same white we're trying to delete with the color of my hand? The problem is like really annoying, and we're using Adobe Photoshop 5.


I'm not home
PEACEEee lovee youu

For Photoshop; not translatable.

Other icons made with same/similar technique:

In psp I have tried to find ways to lighten one of these pictures but it doesn't seem to work. The image is really dark and I would really like to make an icon out of it.



When I try to screen it, it just looks like I put soft light, white layers on it. When I put an effect that works on all of my icons, it doesn't work with this kind of darkness..
