[request] Photoshop Icon Importer/exporter

Is there some sort of plugin available that will let me export graphic files to .ico format? I have done a lot of searching but found nothing so far.

i suggest to go with iconworkshop. it comes with an photoshop-plugin, and btw, in my eyes the best and most powerfull icon software.

Topic moved.

You want a plugin, not an icon, right? I'm throwing it into iLife then ;)

I once had a plugin (took me long to find) and it didn't worked very well, so i also suggest IconWorkshop, best program for icons so far, and you could save the icons in PSD format. There is also a trail version if you want to check it out.

you should try a specific program like iconworkshop ;)

You can use IrfanView to save graphic files as an ico file, which works pretty well. IrfanView is a great free program, and it supports all kind of plugins and extensions as well. There's a download link

I have irfanview and still use it as an image previewer, but for creating/converting icons, I've had pretty poor success with it. It doesn't seem to handle tranparency very well.

iconbuilder by the icon factory ;) , cant belive no one else knew that

but i have to agree with brainbug :rock:

hmai18- I guess I would have to agree with you about IrfanView and icon transparency, actually. Oh well. It's free...what more can you ask for.

Any to icon, and icon to any, are both very good programs. :)

not if you look for a smoother and more profesional look to your icons... IconWorkshop is the best.

IconWorkshop is great, but you have to pay for it :( . I know that not all software is freeware, but if you hang around Aqua-Soft long enough, you get used to all of this free software! Oh well. I'm not really into making icons so it doesn't matter that much for me.
