The Export Icon plug-in enhances Adobe Photoshop by allowing direct export of Photoshop images to Mac OS custom icon files. The plug-in creates custom icons directly from Photoshop images, using the imageis pixel data to create 4, 8 and 32 bit icons of every MacOS supported size. In addition, the imageis transparency information is used to create the iconsi 1 and 8 bit masks.
Export Icon creates traditional icon resources (iicl4i, iicl8i, etc.) as well as Appleis new iicnsi resource which contains all the separate icon data in a single resource. Export Icon optionally copies the data from this iicnsi resource to the data fork of the icon file for use in MacOS X.
Export Icon is available in a downloadable form for US$14.95, while a CD version is available for US$19.95. You can find more information at the Kinetic Creations web site.
