Description

Create and manage icons with Aha-soft ArtIcons Pro. Among its features is the ability to import icons from executables, image and library files and the search and extract function that enables artists to scan through the contents of a folder or a drive and arrange all images found in any files into a single icon library for management.

The program features an image editor that offers graphic artists a number of features, including the ability to create icons with several raster layers. To support the multilayer feature, a new image format, Icon Project, was introduced.

The program is equipped with drawing tools including various kinds of airbrushes, pencils and paintbrushes as well as miscellaneous text, line and shape tools. The software offers a variety of solid, patterned and gradient flood fills, drop shadow, smooth, color modification and other effects. The native Windows XP icon format support enables artists to create 32-bit icons with 8-bit alpha channels. The program can import and export ICO, BMP, JPEG, ANI, CUR, PNG, XPM, XBM, WBMP, PSD, WMF, RC and GIF files.

Other new features include the ability to create, edit and import large images, support for export and import of transparent PNG images, new interface languages including Catalan, Serbian, Swedish and Brazil Portuguese, ability to export icon libraries to single 32-bit bitmap images, and new flood fill patterns and effects.
