Help with icon sharpness


Recommended Posts

I'm really into making icons and so far I'm happy with the results.

However, compared to people who use PSP ect my icons don't come out as sharp or clear.

I was wondering if there is a way to achieve the same effect as PSP using paint.net.

Here are a few examples.

1. Original picture: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb86 ... lbn058.jpg

2. My version. I cropped it to 528x528. Duplicated the picture. Increased a bit of the hue/saturation to 123 and changed the layer mode to screen. Duplicated the screen pic 2 times so it was clearer and lighter.

3. This is the crispness, clearness I would like. Also the colouring is really bright.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much.
