> Hoping this is not too off topic on this list, I would like to know what tools developers here have used to create their application icons. I've found a few candidates on the App Store, but before spending my money on one of them, I thought I'd ask here for opinions. The idea is to create a 512x512 pixel icns icon for my app to use if I ever succeed of getting it on the App Store. I was also thinking of having a custom icon for my application made by a graphics designer, so any recommendations about this would be helpful as well.
I use Illustrator for the master vector and Photoshop to touch up/redraw the smaller pixel versions. To my knowledge, the apps on the app store just downsize an existing image into preset sizes. Downsizing without any manual touchup will almost always result in blurry artwork by the time you get down to 128x128. A decent icon designer will take care of all this for you.
