WTF - Vista 64 256px Icon TINY
PhotoShop CS4 x32 / x64 (with ICO plugin)
Create a new Doc. 96 dpi 256 x 256px
2) create graphic
3) save as .ico
4) create a file type to link the .ico to
5) view extra Large Icons
6) .ico File is viewable, but not the correct size.
When the .ico file is open again in Photoshop, it is the correct size: 256 x 256px
creating Icons in Paint, saving as bmp, opening in a ICON EDIT utility, save as .ico seems to work.
what a nightmare! Any ideas how to fix?
