Preview is smart enough to extract just the icon and not try to copy the app file itself (like Windows would).</p> <ul> <li>Select any app in Mac OS X Finder and hit Command+C to copy to clipboard</li> <li>Launch Preview and hit Command+N to create “New from Clipboard” (alternatively, use the File menu)</li> <li>Save the app icon as an image of your choice</li> </ul> <p>This trick is great because it extracts each size variation of the icon automatically, giving you the full resolution range ranging from the tiny thumbnails up to 512×512 pixels, assuming the developer created an icon at that resolution. </p> <p>Graphic designers and artists should be particularly fond of this one, as it allows you to easily inspect icons at their full resolution to see how they’re crafted.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_If0EG_gmFVyrt02a5UPIrgoQQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_If0EG_gmFVyrt02a5UPIrgoQQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_If0EG_gmFVyrt02a5UPIrgoQQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_If0EG_gmFVyrt02a5UPIrgoQQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=U-1Upzb17os:7cmr_WLK1cw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/U-1Upzb17os" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
