Adobe Photoshop CS3

[Mr. Tastix]

Has anyone been able to get .ico (Icon Files) to open in Photoshop CS3? I can't seem to get them to open and it's really pissing me off too. Anyone lend a hand, please?

I can't open ico's in PS either. To make favicons (just in case you're doing a favicon) I use http://favicon.ru/en/

[Mr. Tastix]

Not making favicons lol. And you don't need .ico's for them, just make the shortcut image file lead to a .png or .gif instead .ico lol. So much easier to deal with.

I'm actually trying to open icon sets to use for certain parts of a website design but can't open any of the damn sets, which is incredibly annoying because icon sets are extremely useful and I can't find many royalty free ones.

[Dae]

For the web-design there are free sets that are free even for the commercial usage (which is, for example, placing ads on your site). The icons in these sets are already in a .png format and ready to use.

But I know that my FastStone Image Viewer (excellent free image viewer) opens and converts ico's without problems.

[Mr. Tastix]

Sweet, thanks for that. Some of those icon sets are pretty sweet too. As for the Image Viewer/Converter, trying that out now.
