SibCode releases Icon Plugin for Photoshop, an Adobe Photoshop plug-in, which enables users to export and import icons to and from Adobe Photoshop
May 28, 2011: SibCode today announces the release of the newest version of Icon Plugin for Photoshop. This plug-in enhances Adobe Photoshop with an ability to export and import Windows icons (.ico). Now users can take advantage of the creative tools and design environment provided by Photoshop and make compelling icons for the use on web pages or in software. The use of the plug-in eliminates the need for intermediate files and additional icon editors. In addition to Adobe Photoshop, the plug-in can work with Elements, AfterEffects, Premiere, PhotoDeluxe, Corel PhotoPaint, PaintShop Pro, Painter, and Photo.
Icon Plugin for Photoshop provides all the features, which are required to achieve professional results in creating icons. It supports multi-format icons, transparency and semi-transparency and allows making icons, which are compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. The plug-in also supports non-standard icons of different sizes and color resolutions, including monochrome, 16 colors, 256 colors, 24-bit True Color, and 32-bit True Color with semi-transparency. Customers have an ability to add and remove sub-icons from icons.
“The tool is amazing," says Christian Berg, an independent software designer. “It has become much easier for me to make first-class icons for my programs using such a powerful image editor as Adobe Photoshop. I work in a familiar design environment and don"t have to buy additional icon creation software and use intermediate files. I like it!"
