[Tutorial]Making Fat Icons Thinner [Perfect for Flat Thread designs!]

Load your image into photoshop most websites will give you a smart object image which I have, Make sure that the background is transparent.(just delete the background layer)

Now hover your mouse over the layer of the logo, now hold ctrl or command on mac and click on it to make a selection

After you've done that just go to select in the menu and now click on modify and click contract

Now you can set the amount of pixels you want the logo to become thinner, for me I am gonna go with 100, you can choose anywhere from 30-200 :D

Now your gonna see a selection on the logo, right click on the logo layer and rasterize it, if your logo already was not a smart object you dont need to do this step.

Now just do ctrl+j or cmd+j on the selection while selected the logo layer which is rasterized, now you will see a new layer on top of the original layer, just delete the original layer and Viola!
