Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time.

One

Two

Note: The second tutorial isn't showing you how to make the whole icon, only the aplying the textures.

I use PS CS2, but it should work for PSP.

Does anyone know any useful and friendly tutorials on manipulations?
I'm a beginner so easy ones are best, but I still wouldn't care that much if it's complex.

Any program is fine. I use PS3 and PSP IX.

Thanks in advance.

I tried searching the mems but didn't find anything. For some stupid reason in PS, after I merge everything and flatten my images I try to put text but it isn't showing up? It shows up as a layer and the text will show up instead of Layer 1 on the side panel, but no text on my image. I can't figure out whats wrong.
Thanks

Edit: fixed it. i'm a moron. thanks

Hey guys! I have a problem...

I don't know what I did or what I hit, but for some reason, in Adobe Photoshop (I use version 7.0), under the brush menu, the program lists every single separate brush instead of just showing me the general brush set. I don't really know how to explain this. You see, I only have 56 brush sets, but for some reason, it just lists each brush in the set individually, instead of under the general name. The menu is so huge, I can't even view all of my brushes! How do you fix this so it just goes back to listing the sets instead of each singly brush? x__X

I have provided a screenshot. I hope it helps!

Hi! please someone can help me
with this coloring? I don't know how
get this:



 

Okay, so I'm having trouble getting the text to cooperate. The three icons below are all Times New Roman, 10pt, with no settings changed except anti-alias.


(Settings: stroke 0, leading -0.3, auto kern, kerning: 200; tracking: 0; etc.)

See? None of them look good.

The only smallish text I can get to look right is Perpetua at 6pt:

And is THIS the only (hard) way, by erasing the background carefully, to make a white rigid outline?
Or is there an easier way? :\

(And I use PSCS2, sorry 'bout that~)

for example, i have a picture of myself that i'd like to make an icon, but the light i used made it look like i almost had a mustache.
