Download either Iconic ( <--shameless plug) or Pic2Icon and drop your photoshop file on it. It will make the icns file for you.
Make sure you have the background layer in Photoshop turned off when you save it (i.e. you should be able to see the background grid behind your icon in photoshop).

Hi! I'm sorry if I am a bit off topic here.

I'm a cocoa developer that would like to add a customized icon to its application folder (not to the application itself, this I know how to do). After searching for about an hour on Apple's web site, I gave up: don't know how to do it! I have created a ".psd" icon for my folder using Apple's icon kit. But then I don't know how to properly set it in my folder. I've tried to "copy-paste" the thumb icon in the finder info windows, but this leaves an ugly white background. Does anyone know how to properly set an icon to a folder either using an ".icns" or ".psd" file? Thanks in advance!
