Image color depth
The
program supports
the following color formats:
-
true-color with alpha-channel (32-bit)
-
true-color (24-bit)
-
256-color (8-bit)
-
16-color (4-bit)
-
monochrome (1 bit)
Changing the format of the color, icon colors are automaticly converted
accordingly.
When converting to 16-color format, you can select a level of
dithering.
Since icons generally are such a
small size, the quality of the 256-color image is very similar to a
true-color image so, if you select 256 color format and draw an icon,
you have a limited
range of colors. AWicons provides a high-quality color
reduction
algorithm, so that you can create a 256-color icon from your original
true-color
images.
Image size
AWicons
can
now edit images up to 128 x128 in the standard version
and up to 256 x256 in the Pro
version.
You simply select the appropriate item in the drop down menu to quickly
set the standard size of the image. You should select the Custom...
item and set the necessary values of width and height, using the
sliders,
if a non-standard size is necessary.
