IconCool Gets Some Fresh Air

If you want to create your own icons for Vista, XP, or the Mac, there are plenty of programs that can help you get the job done, but most of them only have basic functionality. Today, I just found out about the updates got by one of the higher-class icon editing program (in fact, it's a small family), IconCool, and so I have to draw your attention to this topic for a while...

The IconCool family has 3 members - IconCool Editor, IconCool Studio, and IconCool Studio Pro. All of them got updated to the same version number, exactly 5.26 Build 80108. Now, let me tell you a few words about each one of these programs...

IconCool Editor, priced at $29.95, is the smallest member of the family. This program is an easy to use yet powerful icon editor that allows you to create from scratch or edit existing icons, cursors, and web graphics.

IconCool Studio and Studio Pro, available for purchase at $39.95, or $59.95, are both complete solutions for editing and creating 32 bit XP icons, as well as Vista ones. Featuring powerful marquee tools and one for creating lighting effects with ease, IconCool Studio also supports Photoshop plugins and is able to load or export PSD files.

Trial versions of these programs can be downloaded from here, and you'll be able to use them for 30 days. Since there are no special system requirements for any IconCool product, a decent computer able to run Windows XP, at least, should be more than enough.
