Hey, thanks for the walkthrough. I’ve seen sooo many Google+ icons out there but not many guides that actually walk you through making them.

Here’s a set using a similar technique (Glossy+)

Hope you might consider checking it out. Thanks for the tutorial!

I was surprised when I saw this tut, as I didn’t know that you could make icons from PS. Reading through the tut I’m still not any wiser though. It’s very nice to be able to create something looking like an icon, but how do you end up with an .ico-file?

Great tutorial, its really easy to follow (I don’t know how to use Photoshop), Ty so much for sharing.

BTW I noticed that this site doesn’t have the +1 button… they should use yours (poke them if needed lol).

Yeah absolutely, shadows can makes things a bit trickier though.

thanks Tom. That makes sense. If there had not been shadow, i think magic wand would have been a good tool for selection.

I think the color range is the best option for this image. You could really use any selection method. However, if using the magic wand tool you’d have to up your tolerance so that your selection ignores the subtle drop shadow on the letter. The color range just seemed much quicker than the lasso or pen tool.
