Create PNG SVG images in your preferred editor... Download Gimp and create a canvas with your desired dimentions... Import and scale your image... Then export as .ico job done...

Typical resolutions are like 32x32 and 64x64 and 128x128

First, thank you for the excellent PSE plugin.

Second, Am I the only person that actually likes PSE more than the real Photoshop?

I received PSE with my Wacom tablet as well. (intunios 4) Although I prefer to use Autodesk sketchbook for tablet work over photoshop.

sweet. I got the a5 bamboo fun.

I started off with PS. changing from PS to PSE was a little annoying to begin with as some handy tools had been hidden in unexpected places.
The one that I really miss is the RGB color balance slider. that was so good for mashups.

I get the feeling this thread is now officially hotwired XD

I have not been using PSE much but seeing as this ico exporter has much more control over GIMP which still fails to have any form of interface... I will try to use PSE next time I make an Icon... for sure!

Oh yeah! We left at what I call "drama o'clock" which starts at the moment that "that girl" (you know the one) starts crying. We headed over to the diner, which was closed because apparently the cook had sliced his hand during the evening, and we continued onto the place with really good but really expensive pizza (college town) We got oput of there at about an hour past last call, and returned to the bar to get the car, and oh yeah, there were police around, an they were arresting the...

Young males say ages... 20-24... You know, the ones that go to the bar with puffy chest and a chip on their shoulder.

Oh man, I love violence in movies, and video games. Real life... not so much. What a weird dichotomy.
