Red Stain Icon Tutorial Intro
There are many different icon effects to apply to your icon, and this one will show you how to apply a red colour to your icon.
1. Have your icon base ready. If you want, grab one from here. I will be using:
2. Apply a gradient of #F90E24 and #F7ECAF. Drag it from the bottom left corner to the top right corner, or however you want. Set the blend mode to Hue.
3. Now it isn't as red as we want it to be, so make a new layer (Shift + Ctrl + N) and fill it with #AC0717.
4. On the same layer, add a layer mask. It's located in your layers palette, on the bottom. It's the second icon with a picture of a rectangle and a white circle in the middle.
5. Take your gradient tool and drag it from the top right area to somewhere a little past the middle in the same direction. You can keep doing it again until you think it looks right. It's very much like blending, and see the tutorial if you need help on blending.
6. Set the layer to Saturation and set the opacity to 40%. Finished!
