How Can I Save Picture as an .ico File Type (icon)?

Hello. I have a picture that I want to use for an application's icon, and I was hoping that I could create the icon in PhotoShop Elements 6.
I do not see any way to do this, however. That file-type option is not available in either "Save As" or "Export."
Does anyone know how to do this?
I did a Google search and saw where I would need to download a plug-in. If this is true, can anyone recommend a good plug-in? (I'm a little paranoid about what I download on my computer).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The Best way to create a .ico is in Photoshop Extended (photoshop CC cannot).
open your file,
size it edit all the way you want,
then Image/Mode/
          set the color to RGB Color (only) and
          set it to 8 bits/channel.
          it will give you a message
           click ok or yes.
   4. Then save as
             and in the Format dropdown choose, ICO,
             save it
             then gives you a choice of Standard ICO and PNG,
I pick Standard ICO and click ok. you done.

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

Sorry, not possible in PSE itself. You'd need to put your photo into the web creation software you use. If you are using an older version of PSE some versions created web albums/galleries which included an index.html page, but that's as much as PSE does. There's nothing like that in PSE 12 since Adobe wants you to use Revel for photo sharing now.

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.

Thanks.
Lennox

there is no way to do that that I know of. but you can extract an icon of a file to another file using command line tool [osxutils|http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxutils]. you can then call the relevant command from apple script using "do shell script".

How can I save the decuments and PDF file?

How can I save decuments and PDF files?

You first need an app on your iPad that supports the type of document that you want to store on it - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of word and excel documents).
As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc. For iBooks you can add PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library and then sync them to the iBooks app via the Books tab. For Pages, Numbers and Keynote there is help here.

How can I "Save Picture As" from a website - the option is often not available in the right-click menu?

I'm a recent (and generally very satisfied) convert from Internet Exploder. I notice in Firefox, when right-clicking on website images, the available menu options vary and often don't include the "Save Image As" option. Then, using IE, the same image is easily saved... How can this important-to-me task be accomplished as consistently in Firefox?

Thanks. I've seen (and understand) the "save image as" option but that option does not appear for all images. When I then open the same page in IE, it does offer the "save picture as" option, and to my knowledge has never not offered that option. Why is it not consistent in Firefox like it is in IE, or maybe more to the point, how can I make it consistent in Ffx?

How can i save pictures in a table?

Hi!
I read that i must save the picture in the database if i want to involve it into a form.
I create a table with this columns:
ID(number),picture(long raw),discribtion(varchar)
How can i insert the picture in the table?
file directory:c\image
Thank's for help
Nicole

I cann't do anything because there is no reaction. Only the task manager can break up the RunForm.
I've read the OH and there is a table and the image_item is based on the long raw column.
I've changed the table because there was a not null column but now i get this error message:FRM-40400 One dataset was been transfered and saved, but this error comes again and again and the Runform doesn't react.
The trigger is called WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE by the image_item is this correct?

How can I save pictures from Photostream on my Windows Pc?

Hello everybody!
I've got a problem - I want to save the pictures, which I have saved in Photostream (and which ARE in Photostream on my Pc too), on my Windows 7 (32Bit) computer. They ARE in the folder 'photostream' on my comp. but I can't move with them! And I don't want to put the fotos on my pc with the sync cabel with my iPad! So - How can I move the pics from the Photostream-folder to an other folder?
Thanks for answers! Greetings, Mike

You cannot. To download photos from your iPad save them to the Camera Roll and sync your iPad to your computer using iTunes.
See: Ways to share photos
For questions regarding iPhoto on your iPad it would be better to ask in the iPhoto for iOS forum.

Léonie

HT201317 how can I save pictures from photostream to my pc that I already took

I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I can't seem to find an answer (that I am willing to accept!).
I have an Iphone, Ipad and PC.
My iphone and ipad both have photostream (about 650 pictures each), and the camera rolls only have about 100 pictures each. I am not sure why my photostream has more pictures, possibly the photostream is the culmination of my iphone 4 and 5. I do not normaly sync with itunes with a cable on my PC. I do have icloud, and it has about 5 gigs full.
There are a bunch of pictures in photostream that I want, so that I can make a photoalbum with shutterfly, etc. However, when I try and save or email the pictures from photostream to myself, the file size is under 1 meg. (640k), but the pictures should be 2 megs+. From reading posts, it seems that Apple adjusts the size to display on apple devices. Also, I have seen where photostream can automatically download pictures to your pc in their original format, but this feature is for going forward, not prior pictures taken.
However, my challenge is to be able to access previously taken pictures, in their original file/quality size, to save to my PC.
Is their a computer program, or something else? I seemed to read that "maybe" if I had a MAC with iphoto, that it might let me import from photostream in original format, but even that was not 100%.
Please help, as these are pictures were taken over several months time, and I need to put them in a photo book for a friend.
I am willing to do anything, even buy a MAC, if I can just get my photos off of photostream (or icloud), in their original size and glory.
Thanks so much.

Photos are downloaded to a computer from an iPhone similar to the way a digital camera works. Using iCloud to transfer photos to a PC requires the iCloud Control Panel. Read this article for more help on both methods:

Are you saying that you bought a used or second hand Mac? In North America an open box Mac usually refers to a display model used in a store.
There is mixed info on this issue. Some folks in the US have called Apple Care and requested that the iLife apps prebundled with this specific Mac be released from original owner's Apple ID so the new owner can Accept the apps into their Apple ID, with success. Folks in Europe report that when making the same request of Apple Care they are met with resistance and are unsuccessful.
YMMV
The sad thing is that if Apple Care will not release the apps, then the owner of a second hand Mac cannot even purchaase the apps on their Mac! To buy the apps with their own account, they would need to find an older Mac running at least OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with a Mac App Store (MAS), that also has never had the MAS versions of the iLife apps installed on it.

How can I save a Keynote 6.5 file to be opened in Keynote 6.2.

With the upgrade to Yosemite, Keynote was upgraded to 6.5. I have recently found out that you can not open Keynote 6.5 files in Keynote (6.2) for Mavericks. There is an option to save out to Keynote 09 but that really downgrades the deck messing up master slides at times as well. Anyone know how to Save out a 6.5 to 6.0+?

Here is a support article that tells you how to do it - Save documents as a package or a single file in iWork for Mac
Hope that helps.

How can i take pictures from a backup file

I attempted to update my ipod today (finally) and i was surprised to find the update would fail with error 9
in order to get around this, i had to restore my ipod touch, which erased all data such as apps, music, and pictures
the music i had all backed up, and have already replaced on my ipod, however i was smart enough to back up all of the ipod's contents before i did the restore, specifically so i would be able to get the pictures off of the backup, and put them on the freshly updated ipod
my question is, how would i get these pictures from the outdated backup, and put them on the updated ipod, without restoring the entire backup and ending up back where i started. I attempted to use a third party program already, however the program would not open.
much help plz
