PICT Resource

(Mac OS) A PICT resource is a PICT file contained in a Mac OS file's resource fork--for example, an application's splash screen or the contents of the Scrapbook. PICT Resource format supports RGB images with a single alpha channel, and indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap-mode images without alpha channels.

You can use the Import command or the Open command to open a PICT resource. When saving a file as a PICT resource, you can specify the resource ID and resource name. As with other PICT files, you also specify bit depth and compression options.
