From Developer
Aha-soft recently announced the release of ArtIcons. This powerful
graphic utility allows professional and amateur graphic artists
alike to create and edit icon images and manage icon files and libraries
with perfect ease. It is a great tool for creating buttons and tiny
icons or editing smaller graphics.
Designed specifically for effective icon creation and management,
ArtIcons offers production features that can't be found in standard
graphics applications. For one, busy artists can import icons directly
from image and library files, cursor files and even executables.
This makes it ever so easy to create new icons from existing material
without creating them from scratch. If you do need to create a new
icon, choose from the standard 32x32 or 64x64 icon sizes or specify
custom sizes with color depth of up to 32 Million Colors (True Color).
ArtIcons comes with all the essential tools that let you edit and
tweak the icon you want to perfection. Painting tools include spray
can, pencil, brush, flood fill, text and line tools. Modifiers can
also be used to apply color gradients, chess fills and more. ArtIcons
also supports the import and export of multiple file types, including
.ico, .ani, .cur, .wmf, .emf, .bmp, .jpg, .gif and .png.
Update
ArtIcons Pro is the first icon editing software that supports the
new icon format used in Windows XP (32-bit icons with 8-bit alpha-channel).
Icons in Windows XP have smooth edges that blend into any surface,
drop shadow and other effects. Users of ArtIcons Pro can also customize
their Windows Desktop icons. Other enhancements includes support
for .psd (Adobe PhotoShop native format), new Hot Keys and an improved
program interface.
