Press Release Summary = Create icons and animated cursors for Windows, manage icons collections
Press Release Body = SibCode has announced the release of its latest icon editing tool Sib Icon Studio. The first version of this software is released.
Icon Studio makes icon editing a breeze enabling both professional and novice artists to use a variety of drawing, painting and editing tools organized within a neat workspace specifically optimized for creating and editing small graphics. The foremost feature that makes Icon Studio stand out among other graphic tools is the ability to create native Windows XP icons that contain a smooth edge over any background. It offers functions to make better use of opacity and transparency, including the ability to capture transparency when moving or copying images and the RGB lock mode, which allows modifying a pixel\'s transparency while keeping their color. Similarly, Icon Studio \'s transparency lock mode lets you alter a pixel\'s color while freezing its transparency.
This icon editor may be used to create icons from scratch, or simply import multiple standard image files (BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc.) and tweak or convert them to the appropriate format. It also lets you choose the size of your new icon, the color depth, and the effects that you want your icon to have - all with a click of a button. You can easily create and modify XP and Vista icons with drop shadow, smooth, rotate, grayscale, colorize, and roll and mirror effects to create that fun, dynamic, and modern look. At the same time, you can paint images with gradient and chess fills for dimension and a rich outlook. You can save the icon images to disk, or export them to a variety of image formats.
System Requirements Apart from the True Color video mode Sib Icon Studio has no special software of hardware requirements and will run on any Windows 98 and higher machine.
