pretty much explained in the title. Ive been using Photoimpact up until the 30 day trial ran out and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good software for making icons?

Hey,
I use adobe photoshop to make my initail pics then JASC animation software to put them together.
You can download both from download.com I think.
But if youn like, you could send me the pics and phrases you want in the icon and I'll make them for you?
My email's PhoenixsFire@gmail.com

Photoshops probably the best option, but theres loads of other alternative packages available that will do the job.
Icons can even be done in paintbrush, but the quality isnt that good.
If you wanted the icons so be simple, vector based images, the best option would be to do them in Adobe Illustrator.
Animated icons can be done in Flash
It realy depends on what you want on the icons, and what you want them for.

Try one of the older versions of photoshop?
Theres loads of packages available, mostly do the same thing, its just that PS is the best due to its clever use of layers.
If your just creating the icons from photos or images try the following link:

Ive not tried it, but looks like it may be useful to you.
