Don't know about Jake, but I suggest you use Gimp. Gimp is ideal for creating icon files (as in ico file type) although I am n= ot=20 sure that's what you're talking about. If converting an RGB file to b&w is = a=20 problem, you could try desaturating the image while in RGB and then=20 converting it to index mode. It is always better to work on an RGB file and= =20 then convert it to Index mode when the image is complete. If the icon ima= ge=20 is displaying lines when rendered, I suspect the image is distorting due to= =20 incorrect width and height settings in the conversion code, or the icon ima= ge=20 has not been created with the correct height and width for the default=20 settings of an icon file (ie: 16x16 px or 32x32 px). =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart4102814.8FyLWmzN2t Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkokHGIACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZLxgCeLl8et5XPYtmyBHK3QPlcLt5V cfkAnAuVNTxiWdyqNNhTZA4qfaSP13er =t0y2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart4102814.8FyLWmzN2t--
