.ico

Does anyone know the steps to create a .ico file. You know when you bookmark a site it appears next to the title on your bookmarks.

How do I save the file? What extension? Seems like there are no .ico when I want to save in PS.

Thank you for your time.

here you go...

Thank you NL

I read the article then I went to the suggested site, and found out they charge $75 to make an icon.

Are there any programs that I can use to do the icon?

Here's a plug-in for photoshop that allows you to make icons...

It has a demo version that you can try out.

Or try some of the programs here:

Microangelo is by far the best icon creating program, and I do believe that it can read .PSD files even!

Directly saving as an .ICO file is something I hope is in the next update to Photoshop. Thats always been a little annoyance for me.

If I ever need to make one though. I just do it at work with our copy of Microangelo. Costs around $60, but its the best thing I've used for icon creation.
