Does it work?

[Hemske]

Heya all, i am a complete newbie on making icons but i want to learn . I have only done simple icons like taking them from google (changing color and so on) But i need to know if i can change/edit for example boots of speed and make my own boots out from the other boots, if you get what i mean. Is there any way i can make that with any of this programs? wc3 viewer, w3ir or irfanview. (Or do i have to get photoshop?)

P.S. Didnt know where this thread belong, but i put it here.

You can change the icon with W3IR. Open W3IR -> open ''Add borders'' -> open ''RGB scramble'' -> load your icon pressing ''Load icon'' -> then press ''Process'' -> RBG, BGR, GBR, NEG, BRG, GRB, Red, Green, Blue, C, M, Y, H, S and L/V/B icons will be shown -> select file type at ''Please select the file type'' (BMP,TGA or JPG) -> now mark which of mentioned icons you want and press ''Save imgs'' -> your icons will be saved at the folder where is Loaded icon -> done!

Not sure what friky is telling you to do. But if you want to get it and edit the image for free the best program is GIMP. Just google it, its totally free and lots of accomplished artists on this site use it for their masterpieces.
