I mean, you shouldn't judge a book on its cover, but you always do. And same with apps. You shouldn't judge the app on the icon, but you do. On photoshop, the icon looks great and fine, however, a few problems seem to be appearing. The logo is a tad small, and I can easily fix this on photoshop. However, by far the biggest problem is the curved reflection that app icons get. The contrast of the top half of the image now looks terrible. The actual icon itself is fantastic without the reflection. And I know this is something I can remove. If you look at other apps like the Facebook one, it doesn't have it, but then look at Twitter and it does. How do I get rid of it. I would like to get this solved by the time I send Version 1.1 off for approval. It's not a big thing and can easily wait for 1.2, or even get its own 1.1.1!

Just check the "prerendered" box. This will eliminate the gloss effect. Comments In Xcode in the Targets->Summary section, you'll see your icons displayed. Just check the "prerendered" box.
