Icon Tutorial

This tutorial will explain how to make this image transformation in Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. Some basic knowledge is required. Also note that your end result will differ from mine depending on the image you chose as your base. This particular tutorial works best with images a little on the warmer side.
