Converting Powericons to Glowicons

[Gulliver]

Does anyone know how to easily convert Powericons (PNG, OS4 style) to Glowicons (OS3.5/3.9)?

I have a folder full of icons i need to convert and i need help!

Though there may be tools to do that, I would expect limited visual success. PNG and OS4 icons are 32-bit RGB with alpha channel allowing variable transparency, whereas 3.5/3.9 icons are palette based, with colour index 0 being transparent. Not a good target format.

Of course i am expecting quality of icons to be reduced dramatically, but then how can i make that happen? which tools should i use? I was expecting to reduce them to 64 colors for my AGA amiga!

if they are single state PNG icons

rename the .info to .png and load it in an image manipulation app and save it as iff 64 colors.

Load them with IconEdit and save it

If they are dual state (actually they are 2 png images merged together) don't know (IIRC there is a tool for OS4)

I'm not sure.

If your icons are PNG files, perhaps image2icon might work?
