After a lengthy search of the How To forum, I haven't come across these particular subjects:
1. If I want to create custom icons from pictures, is the standard/best/easiest way to open the picture in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro (which I use), remove the background, and resize to the appropriate icon size for my Berry?
2. When removing the background, is there another, easier way besides using the "magic wand" to select the background, then invert to select the image and copy/paste this selection onto a new, transparent background? 3. Finally, if I can't resize the actual picture to the correct icon size due to distortion (I think I saw 48x36, for example), do I then need to open a new, transparent background in the correct icon size and paste the image in the center of that?
TIA.
