That's very helpful, thank you for the reply!

Ok so I have bevel and emboss plugins on paint.net and they don't work anything like the Photoshop ones do. If Photoshop has them built in, then I will try to use that instead. My goal is not to make icons on paint.net because the layering system works nothing like Photoshop's. Ok so I'll try to get CS6 and Wookie's GFX pack and experiment with them. Oh and when I asked about a tutorial, I had Photoshop in mind. If you could make a video explaining how the process of icon creating works in CS6, that would be awesome. I think many other amateur graphic designers could benefit from it.

Alright, I guess the only other thing I wanted to know was this: When you are making an icon in Photoshop, and for example have a ship selected, how do you emboss/bevel the individual areas of it? Does it do that automatically, or do you have to select those areas seperately and bevel each of them? I hope that question makes sense :p

Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it :)
