Easiest Way to Grab Icon
Advertisements
There are many funny things that you can find out from icons, especially Leopard icons which come in huge size (you can see the stories here and here).
It will be nice if we can get the png version of those icons. Of course, the icons is stored somewhere inside your Mac OS X Leopard HD, it's like Mac HD ▸ Application ▸ ... ▸ Contents ▸ Resources.
But hey, it's time wasting. Why don't we just use IconGrabber, a freeware to extract out those icons into image?
It's surprisingly easy to use the the freeware. Put it as your Dock icon, drop your icon on top of the IconGrabber and select several option then *bling* the image will appear in front of you.
Integration with Quicksilver
All applications called up by Quicksilver have their own icons which are actually displayed in front of your eyes. Therefore, dragging the application object to IconGrabber will always work while you want to convert it into image file.
And this is the power I got from IconGrabber and of course, Photoshop.

Let me help you Kuro Rai and this is according to my interpretation of your comment. If you mean that you want to create an image of icon with size up to 20480, it's not wise; Since, most of 3rd apps' icons come with size 128x128 and almost all Leopard's icons were delivered with size 512x512. Maybe this information can help you.
By the way, using all capital letters for word means that you're very angry with that, please inform me and let me help you if you still got some problems. ^^
