24bit transparent ICO files from photoshop.

How can I do this? I know I can save non-transparent files as 32x32 BMP and rename the exention to .ICO but how to I make 64x64 24 bit transparent icons from photoshop? Someone have link to a tutorial?

Thanks

I don't believe that Photoshop has icon capabilities. There is some icon plugin for photoshop, but I've used it and find it a waste of time. Try using an icon making program like [securl= Microangelo.]http://www.eclipsit.com/home.asp]Microangelo[/URL].[/securl]

Save the file as a transparent backed gif.

Then use Irfanview to save it as an ICO file. you can download irfanview at www.irfanview.com

Good luck

Here's a little known secret, I'll share with ya (cuz I'm nice)...
The only group of plugins i have installed is by this fellow http://www.philipp-spoeth.de/ (Photoshop category), and far right towards the bottom theres a plugin called 'Icon & Cursor'. It's free and worth investigating. Theres also a little tutorial there with the download.

What this little gem does is add the ico/cursor file format to the Save As list...
i have not tested this with my CS version
