hamradio:
I will be doing a review in the coming months on Icon Editors and I would like to have some input on which you think should be in it.  I have the below icon editors so far on the possible list.


The below are confirmed so far and should be in the review when finished.
AWicons Pro - Commercial
Axialis IconWorkshop Corporate Edition - Commercial
IconCool Studio - Commercial
IconLover - Commercial
Microangelo Toolset - Commercial
LiquidIcon XP Editor - Free

Carol Haynes:
I am using IconLover (http://www.aha-soft.com/index.htm) which seems to have replaced ArtIcons Pro (I got it as a free upgrade).

Actually I am using it as part of their IconUtils pack.

Actually I say I am using but actually it is more a case of it is installed and occasionally I remember it is there when I want to do something with an icon (rare).

Actually .... that was really good English ... n'est pas?

I never do many icon projects, but i've tried using The Gimp, and it handles icon creation quite well.
I'm not sure how well it can be integrated in that list.

Carol Haynes:
There is a free plugin for Adobe PhotoShop (full versions and Elements) and PaintShop Pro that allows you to Open and Save ICO files in those programmes. Ot's called ICOFormat and is available at http://www.telegraphics.com.au/ so if you have an app that can use PS plugins you don't need a separate editor.
