How Do You Create.......

hi all,

How Do You Create The Favicon.ico File Needed For Favicons In Photoshop?

Thanks

Step one. You create the image (16 x 16 pixels).
Step two. You save it as a .ico file.
Step three. You sit and twiddle your thumbs.

Tada!

Does PS support .ico files without some extension?

No it don't..

Dynamic Drive- FavIcon Generator

Just save a normal jpg or whatever.. and use an icon converter (or use that Jaan gave you)

[Jaan]

I have used .gif image for favicon also and it worked

[Orjan]

an icon could also be .bmp format. windows icons are normally bmp pictures with another extention.

It's best to save it as a 24 bit png first so you can get that nice transparency effect around the edges...

I think an 8-bit PNG would be a better idea, you can't fit that many colours into a 16x16 image.
