Usage
- In the Layers window, Expand the Outer Ring group and choose a layer based on the type of power you are creating an icon for
- For best results, choose one type and hide all others
- Choose an effect based on the type of power you're creating an icon for from the various groups including Pets, Debuffs, Buffs, Mez Effects, and Damage
- Again, choose a single effect and hide all others for best results
- Style your icon using the existing layers in the Overlay group, utilizing Photoshop's tools and filters
- If you create a new layer in this group, be sure to click Paths, select the Mask path, and then
Layers > Vector Mask > Current Path
to preserve the transparency of the icon (Example)
- If you create a new layer in this group, be sure to click Paths, select the Mask path, and then
- Save the icon as either a .png or .dds, depending on your workflow
- You can then change the Outer Ring and Effect layers to generate multiple power icons with the same Overlay to quickly create matching icons for an entire powerset
