RE: Introducing Bert Latamore

Bert,

I have turned many photographs into icons.  Sometimes it works well, and
sometimes it's awful!  You need to find photos that are fairly simple.  I
use Photoshop Elements to edit the file and shrink it down to the proper
number of pixels (20x18) and save it as .bmp.  I have hundreds (thousands,
actually) of icons I've created.  I don't actually USE this many in programs
that use icons, but I get a lot of pleasure out of creating them.
