How Well Do You Know Icon Picture?


....

I believe everybody ever seen icon picture, because whenever we (You and I) use many programs for work such as MS-Office (Word, Excel, Power point and Access), Adobe Photoshop, Internet web browser (Internet explorer; IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari etc.), we will certainly find the icon of each program on our computer or mobile.  Before you will know icon pictures on these, I would like to introduce about types of picture on the high technological tools.  There are two main types of picture  e.g. Raster or Bitmap pictures and Vector pictures. 

The Bitmaps pictures are exactly what their name says they are: a collection of bits that form a picture. The picture consists of a matrix of individual dots (or pixels) that all have their own colour (described using bits, the smallest possible units of information for a computer).  The surname of these Bitmaps are .JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), .PNG (Portable Network Graphics), TIFF (Tag Image File Format), .PSD (Photoshop Document) etc.

The Vector pictures are the use of geometrical primitives such as pointslinescurves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics. "Vector", in this context, implies more than a straight line.  The surname of these Vectors are .AI (Adobe illustrator), .CDR (CorelDRAW.DWG (DraWinG), .DWF (Design Web Format) etc.

My reason I describe about types of graphic or pictures, is to put down the flooring of main pictures (Bitmap and Vector).

Hereafter, I will explain the Icon picture as I have given this topic.  The Icon picture is one of Bitmap.  Maybe many persons don’t know how do Icon pictures come from?  Actually, you can find this Icon picture when you switch on your computer and mobile, and start to use the programs for work.  The pictures or images of many programs, that you found on the computer and the mobile, are Icon pictures.  Have you ever been bored with repetitious pictures, especially the folder on desktop or widows of computer?  If you want to change those icons, you can create pictures which  you want to replace them with your interesting picture e.g. your picture, friend’s picture, your pet etc.  Firstly, you must convert those pictures into icon picture (.ICO).  There are many programs for converting icon picture e.g. ConvertIcon, Folder iChanger, Ico Converter, IconChanger, Picture to Icon etc.  

Although,  those programs introduced for converting picture to icon are too banal, I have the converting program that I have ever introduced before writing this post and I have called its name “ All in One program”, see http://815406.blogspot.com/2012/09/all-in-one.html.
