MaJoR Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Aveicon is great, however, it can't make icons with multible sizes. Is there a free program to make icons that have multiple sizes?

ninique Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 You forget to mention Stardock's solution, it has the most advanced filtering and you can control it much better than axialis's filtering. Plus Stardock's solution gives you more icons in less time since when you've configured it to your liking it does the rest almost automatically Are you talking about IconPackager? I think he was talking about IconDeveloper. It's what I use. Gives really good results and you can choose which file formats you want to have. You can also create icon libraries (.icl files) and packages for icon packager.

z00z Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi guys, I found a free plug-in that enables Photoshop to save images (probably png) as windows icons (.ico). I thought I'd share this find but I'm not sure if it's allowed to post such links on this board . Let me know what I can do.

usedHONDA Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Um yeah. Not sure if this has been said, but Paint.NET supports ICO (icon), CUR (cursor), and ANI (animated cursor) with the help of a small plugin. I used it to make my "Next OS" cursor pack as well as many icons. So I guess that's case closed, isn't it? Paint.NET homepage: http://getpaint.net/index2.html Paint.NET forum: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/index.php Paint.NET Wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Paint.NET What I've made in Paint.NET: http://usedhonda.deviantart.com BTW, I can safely say that I'm the biggest Paint.NET fan. Reason being that I have the 2nd highest amount of posts on their forum (next to the admin).

Spyro88 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 so the best result will be using 'Axialis IconWorkshop' to convert .png to .ico (for create it to many size) than, use 'photoshop' to save .ico to .ico (for bigger view in window explorer 128x128) is that right? can i just use 'Axialis IconWorkshop' to convert .png to .ico (for create it to many size) is there any setting in 'Axialis IconWorkshop' can make it a bigger view in window explorer? because 16x16 is way too small to view...

GTA_Playa Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/ ico plug in for photoshop, and a utilty to bundle together icons in different sizes. Google search "ico photoshop filter" and it's the first result, it's amazing what a little research can do. When you go through 50 pages on each of 10 google searches, that's when you start asking around.
