Making Icons
« on: August 29, 2006, 03:15:33 PM »
I guess I figured out how to make icons, using Elements 4.  Ive been cropping, sizing, and enhancing them, then just substituting them as I would a photo.
GetInfo, copy and paste.  But I must not get carried away, as the desktop could end up a really messy place with insects and piglet faces all over.  So I just did a few,,,,,,,,
Ive got some amazing desktop patterns(revolving) and some super screensavers.  Tis indeed fun to customize your machine.  I dont see many of my friends doing this with their PCs.
I can remember last year when we had a thread here where we showed pictures of our computers and desktops, that was fun.
A fun thing to do is to take pictures over a year or so, of just clouds and skys, then make them into desktop pattern series.  Its easier on the eyes.

You want Iconizer Pro

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12172

conizer Pro is an application developed for automatically generating a set of 32 bit million-color icons from any picture to be a background of CD, folder or other container windows. The icons, unlike Mac OS X default background, can also be viewed on any Mac OS from Mac OS 6 through Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Iconizer can also create blank transparent icons which show only their names. Apple's DeepMask is supported, so users can create icons with different levels of transparency. Support 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Iconizer Pro is $15. (I've generally found that anything with "Pro" in the name ain't free!)

If you want a free one, try:

(read the comments for a few tips on various things, like making backgrounds transparent, etc.)

I dont mind paying at all for a good product, so I sure will look at this link after dinner.
Actually the icons I made with Elements by hand this afternoon are pretty snifty!

Just looking at the $ that I gave last year to the Humane Society of America to help evacuate and care for the abandoned pets during Katrina, paying for software is nothing.
