An icon file with transparency???

Icyculyr · Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 4:16 pm Post subject: An icon file with transparency???

I need to make some transparent icons for an application I have built, however I can't find the option to save as an icon in Photoshop or Illustrator, I have all the CS3 Standard Products.

Currently I am copying an image from Illustrator to photoshop, I set the background type to Transparent, and I save that file out in photoshop as a PNG, and then I use a program called Ifranview, to save that PNG as an icon, however, instead of being transparent, it has a black background, so I am hoping there is an option in one of the CS3 Standard products, or something else that can save an icon out as transparent.

If anyone could help me with this problem, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi there
Do a google search for 'icon plugin for photoshop'. This will add the .ico file extension so you can save these images directly from Photoshop. If memory serves me correctly, .ico files support 1-bit transparency.
Hope this helps
