from Icon Empire. This graphic editor now supports the TGA format, which allows you
to create icons and toolbars for your Personal Digital Assistants. Icon Craft is
armed with a variety of flexible tools, which are able to turn the faint glimmer of
your interface into a festival of colors. Icons processing tools, which are standard
for Icon Craft, include color picker, eraser, color replacer, pencil, paintbrush,
flood fill, airbrush, line, curved line, arc, text insertion, rectangle, ellipse,
etc. Functionality of a good modern icon editor implies that it is certain to
support such essential components as layers, channels, image transparency control
and the like.

A multitude of special effects are at your disposal. You can rotate, flip, roll,
drop shadow, smooth\\sharpen, apply hue\\saturation, and use brightness. Thus,
step-by-step and stroke-by-stroke new graphic images can arise on your screen: new
icons, animated icons, cursors and the like. Having launched the program, you come
across a navigation menu, where you can select an action you need to perform: create
a new icon, create an icon from an image file, open an existing file, find icons in
folders, extract icons from your computer and even more. Another important feature
in Icon Craft is its ability to download icons right from the Internet.

The benefits of the program go far beyond the bounds of what is mentioned above.

JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF, PSD, PDD, TGA, TIF, TIFF, WMF, EMF, WBMP, XMP, etc. The program
ensures that icon management is pure pleasure, which requires no special skills.
