Project files save your icon and cursor designs completely intact.
Creation is our next-generation, Windows XP icon editor, designed to make icons and cursors for today's and tomorrow's desktops. Its menu selections and tool windows are similar to that of Adobe Photoshop, but specifically designed to edit icons and cursors.
Creation makes editing icons and cursors for older Windows platforms easier than ever before, but it's toolset and features were designed and groomed to develop the colorful, dimensional images introduced in Windows XP
Features :
Rich Project Files
Save your work to Creation's project file format to preserve your icon and cursor designs complete with layers, attributes, saved selections, and more. Your entire project is preserved for future enhancments or derivative works.
Layered Export/Import
Export and Import functions specifically include PSD (Photoshop) and PNG file formats because of their ability to include multiple layers and their support for unlimited colors and semi-transparency (alpha channel). Images can also be imported from JPG and BMP formats and exported to BMP format in 24-bit or 32-bit (with alpha channel) formats.
Edit Icons With Multiple Layers
Creation's "Layers" window provides easy access to:
Adjust the opacity of each layer
Link layers together
Select the active edit layer
Toggle visibility on or off for any layer
Edit layer names
Drag layers to re-arrange front-to-back order
Add or Remove layers
A Master Artist's Color Palette
Outstanding icons and cursors begin with an outstanding source of color. Creation's versatile Palette window offers every artist a virtual spectrum of color options.
Configurable Editing and Drawing Tools
Creation offers elegant tools, specifically designed to edit icon and cursor images. Tools can be further configured with options such as Anti-alias, Opacity, and Tolerance settings.
A powerful array of Selection Tools includes Rectangular, Elliptical, Lasso (irregular shapes), and Magic Wand (select by color and tolerance). Build complex selections by adding or subtracting areas with any combination of tools. In addition to edit commands (Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear), selections also play an important role when used with drawing tools and menu commands.
Icon drawing tools include a Pencil, Line, Flood Fill, Brush, Gradient, Shape (rectangular and elliptical, solid, outlined, or both), and Text tools.
Pick up colors from existing pixels with the Eyedropper.
The current foreground and background colors are easily checked, changed or swapped at the bottom of the tool window
