1. First I cropped the picture and sharpened it as needed.
2. At this point, I thought the picture looked really dark, so I duplicated it and set it to screen 100% opacity, then merged the two.
3. Now, it looks really pale! To fix that, I went to Colors>Color-Balance. Set midtones: Magent/Green -30, Cyan/Red -50, Yellow/Blue -10. Highlights: Magenta/Green -10, Cyan/Red 10.
4. Next I duplicated the base twice and set the first to overlay, 100% opacity and the second overlay, 20% opacity. Then, I went to Colors>Hue-Saturation and set the Saturation to 40.
5. Now, I thought the icon needed some more blue and green. In order to do this, I went to Colors>Color-Balance. Set midtones: Magent/Green -10, Cyan/Red -50. Then, I made a new layer and filled it with #d1ffe7, setting to burn 100% opacity. Then I duplicated this layer and set it to burn 40% opacity.
6. (optional, depending on the pictures lighting) Last, I made two more new layers and filled the first with #ffd6b7, setting to burn 20% opacity. The second you fill with #422400 and set it to overlay 10% opacity.
