SiMoNsAyS Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 if you know just a bit of PS you can make multiple sizes from the image (128*128 to 16*16), then just drag and drop all the .png files to gif movie gear (shareware version available at http://www.gamani.com/) and save it as .ico (animated .gif, .avi, .cur, etc are available too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 i find paint express to be extremely useful little program for converting pngs to icons, it even supports 32bit bmps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhelic Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) Ok this thread is a month old but since nobody pointed it out...There's a free .ICO exporter for Photoshop and it still gets updated every once in awhile. I've used it for years since PS5 and it still works in PS CS2. It works for the PC and there are 2 different Mac flavors (old and new Mac).http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/To use it:1. Exit Photoshop2. Put the .8bi file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\ or similar folder3. Re-size your image to your proper icon size (128x128, 64x64, 32x32, 16x16).4. If you want a transparent icon make sure you have multiple layers and the bottom layer is turned off (ala transparent gifs)5.

Synapse Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 just to add on this. I tried this and worked perfectly. definitely worth using in the future..Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash&Burn Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well don't know if this is of any use to ya'll since ya seem to be using expensive apps But one of the best Icon editors I've come across is SnIco EditAlthough it's largest import size is 255x255, anything larger than that would need to be resized by IrfanView or the like first.
