newttster Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hey, all! I'm wondering if anyone knows of a program, preferably free, that will change images to game icons. Like the example above. Neither are my images, I searched an old game for an example and then searched google for the "live" pic to give you an idea of what I'd like to be able to do. I'm lousy at graphics. Basically anything I try to do in any type of graphics goes from sugar to shit very quickly. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNG Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Looks pretty simple, photoshop layer with a filter and add the image ya want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newttster Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Welllll ... this is what I came up with after many hair pulling hours. Working in Paint, built in pic editor and Gimp. It started with finding the outer frame, the background texture and the sword. The frame wasn't what 100% what I wanted so I spliced the pic, saving the top half, then mirror imaged it. Yeah. One job done. Not. I had to use GIMP to cut out the inside of the frame to make it transparent. Then I pulled the background texture into GIMP, then pasted the frame onto the texture and cut out the external areas of the texture around the frame. Yay! Then I opened that in my built in pic editor and added a filter. Woot. Then I found a pic of the sword, opened it in GIMP then clickety click clicked my way until the sword was all that was left. Then I added the sword to the texture-filtered frame!! A woo and two hoos ... I have something I'm proud of for my first attempt. I went from sugar to shit more times than I care to count while doing this. Saving version after version every time I made a change. I know it's not up to a lot of other patrons of MWG's graphics community, but not too shabby either. (I think) I have always respected those of you that can do graphics .. but after this ... I have a new admiration for anyone that does this day in and day out. So ... what do you think? 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMassacre Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 You could probably use some command line tools like imagemigick. Just a quick search and I found something like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
