Opening the file
That's right, dear readers. There are software developers among you, some PhDs and MBAs, but still I'm going to teach you how to open a file 🙂
So, choose an icon and either drag'n'drop it on Photoshop icon or use Cmd+O (Ctrl+O on Windows) for Open dialog. Hint: don't bother about a thing that Adobe is pushing to you called Adobe Bridge. Choose the desired size, for example 128×128 px:
Coloring the icon
1. Make sure the color mode is RGB
If it's grayscale, the icon would be in the shades of gray no matter what color you choose. In Menu, click Image->Mode-> Color RGB.
2. Make sure you have the Layers palette on screen
It looks like this:

Why Photoshop?
You may ask yourself why to bother doing it in Photoshop if there are easier tools. There is a number of reasons, here are just two:
- You'll never have any comparability issues. Same way as we did, you could open PSD, SVG, AI, EPS, whatever, and it would be working fine. For comparison, look at what I've got in one of the 'simple' tools. As you can see, the result is unpredictable depending on the source format, from a perfect bug to the somewhat mutilated body of it:
- Another reason is you are learning a powerful tool. If you ever want to color it with a gradient, or with a pattern, or destroy in some way, you could do it with an extra movement or two. Isn't it great?

Add Png To Photoshop
Is there a way to open PNGs without reading alpha information? or to remove the transparency from an already open document?
I've created a PNG with a 3D applicaion that depicts an opaque character in front of a transparent background. the image uses straight alpha.
however there is still image information in the transparent parts. here's the same image without alpha (i removed it quickly with the open source app IrfanView).
Once i open the original PNG in Photoshop CS3 it creates a single layer document with the transparency already applied to the layer. I have found no way to get at the color values in the transparent parts of the image.
as you can see i already have some sort of work-around for this problem. still, i would be interested if it's possible to do the same with photoshop, since it is my numer one image editing program.
