&gt; I use any of IrfanView, PhotoFiltre, Paint.Net - all freeware - Irfanview <br>
&gt; is a converter and viewer, the other two are excellent image editors and <br>
&gt; convert too.<br>

&gt; What do others use?<br>

&gt; &gt; Hi,<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Not sure about BDS2006 but many Delphis have
&quot;Alt-&gt;Tools-&gt;Image Editor&quot;<br>
&gt; &gt; In there you can open the bitmap, copy it to clipboard, then make a
new<br>
&gt; &gt; icon and paste the bitmap in<br>
&gt; &gt; then you just select the transparency colour and fill in the
background.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
