Making and Replacing Icon
November 26, 2007 12:00 AM
OK, so I am banging my head against a frickin wall on this. I found a trial of a program called GIF Movie Gear which is working fine for compiling separate images into a single multipage .ico file. That would be great if I could figure out how to make the image files correctly. Lectora is telling me to make three images for the icon file, one 16x16x16, one 32x32x16 and one 32x32x256. OK, so that's 16x16 4 bit, 32x32 4 bit and 32x32 8 bit. Simple enough, but I cannot figure out how to make 4 bit files. I thought this would be easy in Photoshop (I have CS3) but I can't figure out how to do it, lol. The image menu only goes down to 8 bit. I supposedly should be able to save BMPs at 4 bit, but I can't figure out how. Anyone know? Is there another program I should use for this?Thanks much!!
