Answer #1
Personally I use Adobe Photoshop to create a PNG file then convert it into an .ICO file using Greenfish Icon Editor, you could do the same with a different photo editing software like Coreldraw or Gimp or etc…, then convert in into an .ICO file using the Greenfish software.
Answer #2
is there not a software that does all that in one shot? why use 2 to 3 different?
Answer #3
iconFX Pro allows you to create images as far as I know then make them icons at your choosing. But, you said you wanted hires and probably gave the best advice, to start in PS and import them, less work. I’d use iconFX as a finisher.
