I don’t have Photoshop, so I can’t use the dozens of PSD files that create Apples SuperEllipse Icon Template
Would somebody out there be willing to make me a set of PNG files in each of the standard sizes?
180, 152, 120, 87, 80, 76, 58, 40 and 29 pixels in size or and 512, 1024 as well 
Right now I am using Drawpicture to rescale one I cut off a webpage, but if I can get them in PNG format from a PSD vector file they would look SO much nicer

Pixelmator (which is much more reasonably priced) can use PSD files.
So can Preview. Open the PSD in Preview, resize the image (Preview does a very good job), use Cmd-Opt-Shift-S to save as, select PNG and you’re all set.
that is good to know. I didn’t knew Preview could do it. This is why I like hanging around these forums, I learn something new every day, and it is not always Xojo related.
My GA team always give me the 1024x1024 PSD version and let me create the sizes that I need because the icon and other image sizes always seem like moving targets. I learned to love Preview back around OS X 10.3.
I do love Preview and use it a lot, just don’t know all of its power.

Look on the MAS in the developer section Dave. There are dozens of apps to do just this, most drag and drop, at all price ranges.
Decided to bite the bullet and do one up myself…
from what I can tell all the equations for the inner circles and lines meet Apples design.
The outer RoundRect is a super close approximation, as Apple uses a SuperEllipse
If anyone can adapt the math for a SuperEllipse to this code, PLEASE let me know
This is free for anyone to use, but please keep the comments intact
