Vehicle icons

 

For some unknown reason, I decided to "tweak" one of Garmin's icons. I downloaded it from the garage and then tried to open it in a graphic program. I thought I owned every Macintosh graphic utility and program known to man, but this icon is tough. I tried Photoshop, Aperture, Graphic Converter and a bunch more including Canon and Sony Camera programs, but no luck. The image is defined as Sony Raw Image and is labeled "carConvertible.srf" Is it possible to play with these icons, or is it just a lost cause?

The thread has the right subject, but the instructions can't be followed. At least not on the Mac. I can't get the image into any program to convert it to a png image and if I change the extension manually it opens up Aperture which then complains that it can't parse the file. Normally Photoshop saves it's images with a png extension, but it can't read this file with either the png or srf extension. (the same with Aperture)

I guess i'm either too old or too stupid to figure out what to do next. I really do appreciate the help and the links, but I'm throwing in the towel on this one. Thanks again for the effort. These files will have to remain srf until a bright teen ager comes to visit. Unfortunately my grandson is teaching English in Bangkok.

I finally learned how to edit Garmin's icons and load the converted icons back into the nuvi. The srf to png program worked!! Now that I learned how, do I really need it? THANKS to all of you who helped.
