Again, it's not exactly the same but it's close enough :)
Remember, the outcome depends on the original picture. It will not always work. Have fun with this!

I guess this is kind of a request for future tutorials, don't take me serious but hear my question, but i've always wondered how to single out a certain color (like make the icon black, white and red for example). I've tried everything but I can't figure it out. I'm not asking you to answer me right away but jsut for future turtorial reference :)
