Greenfish Icon Editor Pro is more than a simple icon editor. With its help, you can also create static or animated mouse cursors (CUR and ANI files) or you can edit normal image files.
Because the application focuses on editing icons, when opening or creating a small image (less than 64x64), the drawing canvas displays a grid that isolates each pixel so that they’re easier to see and work with.
The image filters (effects) available are not spectacular but with the right knowledge and skills they can help create nice graphics.
The time needed to get familiar with the program varies, depending on the user, but overall, the program is easy to use and the interface is well-crafted. It shouldn’t take more than a few hours to get to know every feature of this utility.
