Icon Toolkit

Jim2007 · 2011-11-27 13:34:03

Can anyone recommend a basic tool that can do the following: - Convert colored Transparent PNGs to grey scaled versions for use as Icons - Handle batches of images at a time - Would be nice if it worked on a Mac as well Thanks.

Photoshop actions would be best for this me thinks.

Irfanview would do the job and it seems like you can get it working on a mac

In the world of FOSS
ImageMagik
is pretty much the defacto standard for this type of thing (specifically with command line & automation abilities).

Unless you are already a Photoshop guru - GIMP is a great FOSS alternative.
