Making Windows and MacOSX Icons
31/10/05 Filed in: Graphics
If you fall into one of those rare groups of people needing to make icons for both Windows and MacOSX the simplest solution I found was using the Axialis Icon Workshop. Not only can it save to both operating system formats it also has some nice image object tools to make fancy buttons really fast and starts at only $35usd.
While it is easy to convert icons between MacOSX/ Windows or to quickly make your own it seems horribly difficult to edit these icons later due to the lack of layer support. So, if you are only looking to make a few icons that cannot later be "tweaked" then this is not bad at $35. The included images also help to make it a very comfortable starter package for icon development.
There's a bunch of other stuff to do batch image conversions, a photoshop plugin, export packages for commercial sale or presentation but those are in the Corporate Edition which is $60usd.
