With all these fancy-free Mac Icons you can download, why not spice up your web applications and use them online?
The problem is that the Icon files can’t be opened by Photoshop (there might be a plug-in I’m unaware of that does this). So we need a way of importing the graphic into Photoshop.
Luckily you can do this by simply copying the icon to the clipboard and then pasting it into Photoshop, here’s the process:
How to Convert Mac Icon File into PNG or other usable graphic format
- Click on the Icon file and Press Apple+I for Info…
- Click on the Actual Image in the Top Left of the Info Window (Make sure it has a Blue Highlight Border around it) and press Apple+C to Copy it to Clipboard
- Open up Photoshop and Create New Image (with Dimensions from Clipboard)
- Apple+V to Paste the Image into Photoshop
Now you can simply Resize and Export the Icon in any size/format you require!
Nice one
