Default Re: icon mods

Don showed me a trick a long time ago where you copy and paste two or three images of the same icon, then apply a 'wash' of a certain color, eg brown to one, green to the next, black to the next, so that you keep the integrity of the highlights and shadows while changing the whole color. Then it's just a matter of erasing the 'negative' out of the camoflage pattern, then copy and paste that over the base icon. Et voila. IIRC this worked in PSP, I haven't done vehicle icons in a long time so I don't remember which tools to use.
