Hit Ctrl-E

Guh, perhaps I messed up because CTRL-E didn't work or perhaps maybe it's because I'm using Photoshop 7

Oh. Layer->Merge Layers, then.

Hmmm I didn't do a bad job, but something with the glass is wrong although the settings are correct ... 1st attempt is not bad, second one is better.

If you hold the Shift button, you can click multiple layers. If you then right-click one of the layers, you're able to merge them. You can also use Ctrl + E to merge them (but the layers should be selected). Good luck!

Alright I noticed that whoever did this tutorial didn't come out with an icon that looks like the original by k_millio with such a nice glass effect and I have gone over the settings 3 times over..... perhaps k_millio wouldn't mind sharing that extra secret,lol .... but i noticed something in the tutorial that is missing.... in each section of the "contour" area you can see the "anti-alias" is turned on..... but you can never see the range it is set at. Perhaps that can be included.

Thanks

Nice one kstor. Try to use a transparent background next time though.  

Wow!! k_millio what a great tutorial, have not used photoshop before as my work mate said it was a little daunting   to tackle so i am really greatfull for the easy to follow tutorial My creation never came out like the original but it gives me a good step in the right direction thank you

Well.... Tha's my result!!!

What do you think????

Welcome to CrystalXP! Your result looks nice, but the image is cut of at the sides. You should try to start with a bigger canvas next time (or make a smaller round).

Nice one!

Look what i've get in the first try

(sory about my english)

Nice result! Why don't you try to use a transparent background next time?

Ok!

I tried again and this is my result

What do you think now?

nice dude  

Wow, thanks! Here was my result:

That's very creative! Welcome to CrystalXP! Your image is cut a bit on the bottom too, but the total image looks nice.

Thanks for the welcome

Better?

Yea I think putting the Firefox guy in the middle of the icon is a good effect, looks great

I think it looks better indeed!

Hey there thanks for sharing this wonderful tutorial! After several tries I've finally made a decent looking glassy icon here is mine... heh!

How is it?

It's great! I hope you like this tutorial as much as I do. You should try to create your work on a transparent background next time. Perhaps your claw should a little smaller too, it's hitting the edges at the moment.

how can I use this icon in windows view?how can you save .ico format with photoshop?

You can't save .ico files in Photoshop without a plugin. You can find some .png to .ico transforms on the internet though.

Hi!!!  

If you want to transform .png files to .ico; go to this web site. They do it for free Punk Software - Projects  

Welcome to Crystal XP Nuwanda and Rolff
You can also use ToYcon which is a free and easy-to-use program (just drag & drop the png file in the box )
