I am looking for a GOOD icon editor. The one on WB 2.0 is good, but can't support big icons. Icon Master doesn't support 8 colors, and IE has almost zero tools and a sorry interface. Anyone suggest any others??? (Must support color and "big" icons.) Duane

In my experience I haven't found anything better than using Public Domain Brush-to-Icon and vice-versa converters with DPaint III. The conversion utilities I have will make nice 8-color Icons using this method. The perspective effects let you do some neat stuff (ie: folders the open, icons that "fall down" when clicked on). Best of all its free! (Because everyone owns DPaint, right?) Fred Fish disks have the conversion programs. At least, that's where I got them. ---- Robert Huebner huebner@aerospace.aero.org or huebner@en.ecn.purdue.edu ----

Like you wouldn't :-) ) if I am wrong, but my copy of IconMaster (from Compute!'s Amiga Resource before it died) was Shareware, with the opportunity to get an 8 or 16-color version by registering... I didn't use it enough to send in my ShareWare fee, so I can't vouch for it... -- Greg Stelmack -- Email: stelmack@sol.csee.usf.edu -- USmail: USF Box 1510, Tampa, FL 33620-1510 -- Amiga: the only way to compute! -- IRAQNOPHOBIA: Nothing a little RAID wouldn't cure!

Personally, I'd use Dpaint and then ZapIcon or something to convert the brush to an icon. The time you lose in the conversion is paid back in the time you save in not having to deal with an icon editor. The world (or my :tools directory) still needs a better converter, but I've never been impressed with any of the icon editors yet. -- David Plummer - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: ...!herald!weyr!70!David.Plummer Domain: David.Plummer@f70.n140.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...
