AZ Paint & PNG Editor

AZ Paint & PNG Editor
AZ PNG Editor
AZ Paint & PNG Editor    Comparing to GIF, PNG is not confined to a 256-color boundary. However, it does not have the animation capability like GIF does.   In addition to tools and filters for creating and editing BMP, JPG, GIF, TGA, PCX and TIFF, etc., the program specially covers features unique to PNG, e.g. it provides alpha channel editing on a magnified and grided screen. Alpha channel is preserved when you paint, rotate or resize the image, etc.   The program supports PNGs of any Bit Depth (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 in PNG terms) and any Color Type (0, 2, 3, 4 & 6 in PNG terms).   On Save, you may optionally set transparency, background color, interlacing, sRGB and Filter Type, etc. If an alpha channel exists, you may choose whether to apply the original alpha values or the edited ones.  (Price US$40.00. For other price scale, see list below)

Custom Size Icon Editor

Custom Size Icon Editor    Most icons we use are sized 32x32, 16x16, 48x48 or 24x24.   Nevertheless, some users may occasionally draw icons of a custom size for use in their own applications, e.g. the one shown on left is 96x28.   The "Custom Size Icon Editor" caters for such purposes.   (Free of charge to registered users of AZ Icon Editor or AZ Paint Pro.)
Library Icon Extractor
(Click for full size)
Library Icon Extractor

Library Icon Extractor    While AZ Icon Editor itself has facilities to extact 32x32 and 16x16 icons from various sources including library files, this supplement is for extraction of icons, or icon groups, of any sizes from resources files, notably the Shell32.DLL that resides in every Windows PC (with well over 1000 icons therein if XP and 2000 if Vista).  (Free of charge to registered users of AZ Icon Editor or AZ Paint pro.)
ICL Icon Library Processor / Vista Multi Icon File Builder
(Click for full size)
ICL Icon Library Processor / Vista Multi Icon File Builder

ICL Icon Library Processor / Vista Multi Icon File Builder    AZ Icon Editor and AZ Paint Pro each has comprehensive extraction facilities which include that for ICL, but separates out the functions for building an ICL file, since the ICL file is an older type of library (in 16-bit "NE" format only) and most users do not need it. This powerful ICL Icon Library Processor and Multi Icon File Builder is for those who have many in-series icons and would like to view/create/edit ICL files (view, build, add, shift and/or delete icon groups and/or individual icons). It is also useful to those who would like to build the normal multi icon files or the Windows Vista multi icon files embodying both ICOs and PNGs in a single file.   (Free of charge to registered users of AZ Icon Editor or AZ Paint Pro.)
Icon Sidekick
(Click for full size)
Icon Sidekick

Icon File Browser
Icon File Browser

Icon File Browser    To make good the defective/deficient aspects of Windows Explorer: (i) In ListView style, Windows Explorer relies on ICO file extension to show its image (a BMP file renamed as ICO is treated as ICO); (ii) In Thumbnail style, it does not reveal ICO files with discrepant header entries; (iii) It only reads BIH, hence would fail to show a B&W cursor with reversed colors for image and mask; (iv) On Win98 or ME, incapable of showing alpha effects of a 32-bit icon and would show only a black for a Vista icon; (v) It keeps users in the dark whether an icon file is a multi-icon file; and (vi) It does not indicate whether an ICO file has embodied PNG items.   This supplement Icon File Browser not only lists them, but allows you to extract any of the listed items.  (Free of charge to registered users of AZ Icon Editor.)
