making icons with photoshop

Post by g----13 »

Get the ICO plugin: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/dl.ph ... b4-win.zip

Goto C:/programs files/adobe/photoshop__/file formats/ and put the ico plugin in there.

1. Open photoshop and start a new document 70x70 with transparent content/background

2. Either make something from scratch or inject an image

3. If you inject an image, use the magic eraser tool to get rid of its background if you want to.

4. Save as "windows ICO" and select standard ICO format

hope this helps

You can also use this to make favicons, which are the images in the url of websites.
