Very nice. I love how clean and crisp your icons are without being overly sharp. Have you ever writing a tutorial about how to achieve that effect?

[cheesygirl.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes it depends on the cap I have as to what I do to it to get it that way. Typically, I crop the pic how I want it, then resize it to 100x100 in Paint Shop Pro using a bilinear resample. Then I sharpen it once. After that, I tweak the brightness and contrast until I like the look of it. I also find it helpful to add a light color filter set on soft light, especially when I want to bring out the background. I also tweak the saturation and color balance until it looks good.

Other than the initial resizing and sharpening steps, the rest is just trial and error until I like how it looks. ;D

I did consider doing some kissing icons, but at the time I was mesmerized at how he was looking at her before he kissed her, like in #18. *sigh* Plus I didn't want to use up all my good caps, so I can make more icons later on. ;D

Glad you like, thanks!

saving number 20.
Your icons are a great example of how to use nice, simple cropping and editing without creating a monsterous eyesore of an icon. Lovely. Thankyou.
