Excellent job man, excellent.

Hey I got one question though. I can not seem to get my images to show nicely through the layer, and how do you get your icon images so clean. How do you do it?

BTW what programs are you using, I do mine in photoshop and export them to Microangelo studio.

Thanks,

Jolhof

Thanx mate :)

I'm using Photoshop too, but instead of Microangelo I'm using GIF Movie Gear (Microsoft recommend it in their tutorial) to import/export the icons.

You can open up an icon in it, convert it to .PSD format, edit it in Photoshop & then just drag & drop the finished .PSD files into GIF Movie Gear (or just import them.)

Then you can save them as icons from there, (the proper 32bit alpha blended ones.)

Hope this helps :)

If you're taking requests I would love for some bubble icons that have a drive and a drive letter on top of the drive for HD C&D and also the same but a cd player with D&E.

Thanx for the great work. Beautiful icons! :o

Cool icons, foood!

Could you make an icon for...

Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator 4, and Windows Update?

Thanks in advance,

LOL!

Sorry if I'm being slow but I'm getting requests here, by private messaging & email. Also I've started back at work after the holidays so don't have as much time, but I'll keep doing them when I can :roll:

Yeah, I know a lot of drives, but this computer is shared by many people and they all have their own partition.

In total I have more than 200 GIG diskspace!!

Although I takes to Xmas, I can wait (LOL)

I tried your templates for the bubble icons and still get very bad aliasing around the edges. Is there a step i'm missing somewhere when importing/exporting the psd into PS/Gif Movie?

Man. What version of Gif Movie Gear are you using...I just wasted money on 3.01 and it 1) Doesn't work in 32 bit color (only 256) 2) Export psd format as suggested by your tutorial. :ermm:

Thanks for the icons though

Hehe, me again. It seems that Gif Movie doesn't handle layer effects very well. Image layers should be merged before saving. I gonna read over your tutorial again and if you had mentioned that i'm gonna feel like a complete ass ... :right:

EDIT:

Well, after some looking around I found an icon I/O that handles 32bit alphas HERE. The latest version of icon shop is FREE and handles 32 bit alpha channels from tiff files. I can now move on with my pathetic life.
