About Sib Icon Editor

Sib Icon Editor is a fast and lightweight image editing tool designed for creating
and editing icons, toolbars, navigation buttons, small logotypes and similar
graphics. Fitting the niche between simplistic Windows Paint and almighty Adobe
Photoshop, Sib Icon Editor offers small-graphics designers a way to unleash
creativity without the steep learning curve. Having just enough painting tools
available for creating images detailed by the pixel, Sib Icon Editor is small, light
and blazing fast on any PC.

Sib Icon Editor supports icons, toolbars, logos and other graphics of any size,
color depth or aspect ratio. Both 16 and 256-color images are supported, while
32-bit graphics gets alpha-channel support for creating images with no edge
jaggedness. The alpha-channel comes handy when adding semi-transparent shadows that
look extremely effective on Windows XP and Vista.





Sib Icon Editor allows creating great-looking images with minimum learning. Having
just the right number of painting tools, Sib Icon Editor offers a choice between a
number of pens, sprays and paintbrushes. There is the usual bucket tool for filling
the void, and there are gradients and chess fills to quickly achieve desired
effects.

Adding shadows or making highlighted or disabled versions of the same icon are easy
if you use Sib Icon Editor. It only takes a few clicks to add a translucent or
opaque shadow, modify opacity, colors, and gamma. Disabled icons are typically
grayscale, so there is a tool for that as well. Tools for smoothing, inverting and
colorizing images are also available. The resulting image can be saved in ICO, ICPR,
BMP, JPEG or PNG formats. Sib Icon Editor can also convert Mac icons into Windows
format.

Sib Icon Editor offers a variety of features to effectively manage your icons.
Supporting the ICL format for icon libraries and collections of icons, Sib Icon
Editor makes it easy to organize and store your icons with no clutter.
