How to Create a Purple and White Cut Icon in Photoshop
Open your Photoshop program and let it load. Go to the top of your Photoshop window and click File > New to create a new canvas. Create your canvas 100 pixels by 100 pixels. Select the color background that you need and click the OK button.
Next, you will need to create a New Layer. Click on the little icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel that looks like a sheet of paper with the corner curled up. Press F7 on your keyboard if you do not see your layers panel. Name your layer Icon Background. Double click the name of the layer to rename it.
Next, you will need to select your Rounded Rectangle Tool from your toolbar. Set the radius to 10px. Then draw your shape on the canvas.
Left click one time on the Icon Background Layer to highlight it. Then right click on the layer and click Rasterize Layer from the pop up menu.
Right click on that layer again and click Blending Options from the menu. Apply the following effects to your icon.

Then double click on Scissors 2. Draw the scissors on the icon.

Post a CommentZep, perhaps you didn't read page two.
Rasterize is disabled. Any reason you know of as to why?
What are you talking about Zep? It's right there in the tutorial. Draw the scissors on the new layer. It also tells you how to draw the scissors. Nice tutorial Jasmine. It worked for me.
Let me rephrase...when I go to create the "scissors" layer, you never say to create anything within that layer...therefore, when I go to rasterize it, rasterize is grayed out since there is nothing there to rasterize...no clip art of scissors, or drawing or anything!
How do you rasterize a layer with nothing in it? Rasterize is grayed out when I try to get it to work??? I went ahead and skipped it, but you never said where to get the scissors graphic or how to draw it???
