Icon Craft Long Description:
Icon Craft gives professional and amateur artists the ability to design and edit all the
graphics required in the software development cycle, including icons, static and animated
cursors, and other interface elements. All these graphics can now be designed using a single
application.
Icon Craft offers a variety of features that cannot be found in standard graphics
applications. Icon Craft includes the ability to import icons from executables, image and
library files. The built-in search and extract function enables busy artists to scan through
the contents of a folder or a drive and arrange all images found in any files into a single
icon library for easy and effective management.
This program features a greatly improved image editor that offers graphic artists a number
of breakthrough features, including the ability to create icons with several raster layers.
Layers give you more freedom in using complex graphic tools and creating professional images.
This new feature enables Icon Craft to rival any high-end graphics package. In fact, when
considering icon creation, Icon Craft is already at the top of the list.
Icon Craft is supplied with all the essential drawing tools, including various kinds of
airbrushes, pencils and paintbrushes, as well as miscellaneous text, line and shape tools. The
software is well equipped in the effects department too and offers a variety of solid,
patterned and gradient flood fills, drop shadow, smooth, color modification and other effects.
The native support for the Windows XP icon format enables artists to create 32-bit icons. Icon
Craft also includes a number of unique features, such as the ability to apply effects to
multiple images in the icon collection.
Other new features in Icon Craft include the support for large images, the ability to export
and import transparent PNG images, the ability to export all images from a library to a single
32-bit image and an improved interface.
