Microsoft Image Composer 1.5 or Paint?

The end result in the case of Windows XP is to get a series of icons of different scales, so I actually recommend using a program that includes vector illustration capabilities for easy scaling. Photoshop still wins out in this case, especially if you want the alpha transparency and 32-bit gradient effects that make modern icons so engaging. See the MSDN article below for the necessary steps to creating a fully compliant Windows XP icon file.

Photoshop is the best computer painting program out there. It might be a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. There are awesome tools like rendering and other cool stuff. But other than that I would probably just use microsoft paint

Depends on what your op sys is for one.....keep in mind when you want answers give details such as what your op sys is....you will get better results. If you are using windows xp it can be done in windows paint program. JUGNUTS, you are a boob, the pic has to be converted! Stick to milking cows! Earlier windows paint will not work!

Check out Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/), it's a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop and it's free.\n\nThere is no real way to do layers in standard Paint.

Oh yes.  You have two choices.  There is the GIMP which stand for GNU Image Manipulation Program which will require you to install the GTK+ runtime environment first.  Get it here, http://www.gimp.org/\n\nYour second option is PhotoPlus 6.0 which is available for free as well.  Serif software (the makers of PhotoPlus) make the older versions of their software available at no cost, though you will have to pay for the latest version.  PhotoPlus 6.0 is the closest thing to PhotoShop and I have found it to do almost everthing PhotoShop does.  PhotoPlus 6.0 is also compatible with some PhotoShop plugins.  You can't do better than PhotoPlus 6.0 for free.  Get it here, http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/\n\nIf you are looking to organize your photos and all your media, I like Picasa which will organize all your images into one easy to use program and it also has some editing tools as well, available here, http://picasa.google.com/index.html\n\nHappy New Year to you as well!!

Try these simple solutions. All software are already on your pc.\n\nUse MS Paint to open 1 photo at a time and resave as jpeg files.\n\nNext simply click on one photo of the saved jpeg pic and it will be automatically be opened by Windows Picture & Fax viewer. Press the F11 key to start viewing in slide mode.

photoshop elements is easier to learn and cheaper, and should do most anything you want it it for.  It's about $75 US.  You can get a free trial here:  \nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/tryout.html\n\nPaintshop Pro is also excellent, more capabilities than the above, if you want to learn to do a lot of cool things. It's $99 US.  I prefer version 8, but you can get a free trial of version 10 here:\nhttp://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Trials/DownloadContainer\n\nYou can get Gimp free, and there are lots of free tutorials available for it, get it here:\nhttp://www.gimp.org/windows/\n\nHope this helps.

you can use winimage, winiso, iso buster or nero to open .img files.\n\nif they are a game file as you say they can be edited only using the game SDK if available.

I use Serif PhotoPlus. It's free and has worked great for all the different uses I've needed.

There's a lot of different titles to choose from. What is it you want to do? For artwork I would recommend Adobe Illustrator. For photos: Photoshop. \n\nCheck out www.adobe.com to get an idea about what it is you want. To help you learn, the Visual Quickstart Guides available at Amazon.com are good.\n\nIt's typically best to go with the most recent release. That version is referred to as CS2 for all applications (though many refer to them by their number version)

I have been using Paint Shop Pro for over 7 years and have done all the upgrades. I am using psp10 right now and love it.

The gimp is a wonderful program.  It just takes some getting used too.  But it isn't too bad.  Here is the URL http://www.gimp.org.  Be sure to download the GTK+ Runtime Enviroment too, or GIMP won't be able to operate.
