icons

Hi, I want to modify the icon for the Mayabatch plugin, I am not sure what format this .ico file is.

I have tried saving it as a bmp and renaming it in .ico, but deadline doesn’t read it.

How can I create an icon from photoshop?

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

It’s a standard 16x16 Icon file. I’ve always used Gimp to save out icons

you just specify the icon format when you’re saving the image.

I would imagine that photoshop would let you do this as well.

Cheers,
Ryan

Turns out Photshop need a plugin to open and save icon file.

For those interested here is a free plugin for photoshop
