<p><b>PICT</b> is a <a href="/wiki/Computer_graphics" title="Computer graphics">graphics</a> <a href="/wiki/File_format" title="File format">file format</a> introduced on the original <a href="/wiki/Apple_Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Apple Macintosh">Apple Macintosh</a> computer as its standard <a href="/wiki/Metafile" class="mw-redirect" title="Metafile">metafile</a> format. It allows the interchange of graphics (both <a href="/wiki/Bitmap" title="Bitmap">bitmapped</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vector_graphics" title="Vector graphics">vector</a>), and some limited text support, between Mac applications, and was the native graphics format of <a href="/wiki/QuickDraw" title="QuickDraw">QuickDraw</a>. </p><p>The PICT file format consists essentially of a series of QuickDraw commands. The original version, PICT 1, was designed to be as compact as possible while describing vector graphics. To this end, it featured single byte <a href="/wiki/Opcode" title="Opcode">opcodes</a>, many of which embodied operations such as "do the previous operation again". As such it was quite memory efficient, but not very expandable. With the introduction of the <a href="/wiki/Macintosh_II" title="Macintosh II">Macintosh II</a> and Color <a href="/wiki/QuickDraw" title="QuickDraw">QuickDraw</a>, PICT was revised to version 2. This version featured 16-bit opcodes and numerous changes which enhanced its utility. PICT 1 opcodes were supported as a subset for backward compatibility. </p><p>Within a Mac application, any sequence of drawing operations could be simply recorded/encoded to the PICT format by opening a "Picture", then closing it after issuing the required commands. By saving the resulting byte stream as a <a href="/wiki/Resource_fork" title="Resource fork">resource</a>, a <i>PICT resource</i> resulted, which could be loaded and played back at any time. The same stream could be saved to a data file on disk (with 512 bytes of unused header space added) as a PICT file. </p><p>With the change to <a href="/wiki/Mac_OS_X" class="mw-redirect" title="Mac OS X">Mac OS X</a> and discontinuation of QuickDraw, PICT was dropped in favor of <a href="/wiki/Portable_Document_Format" class="mw-redirect" title="Portable Document Format">Portable Document Format</a> (PDF) as the native metafile format, though PICT support is retained by many applications as it was so widely supported on <a href="/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS" title="Classic Mac OS">Classic Mac OS</a>. </p><p>This "PICT" image format supports single channel and color channel RGB images and grayscale images. <a href="/wiki/Photoshop" class="mw-redirect" title="Photoshop">Photoshop</a> no longer has the ability to open PICT files which use QuickDraw object data (but can open simple raster-based PICTs), and cannot save files in PICT format.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="PICT_versions">PICT versions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=PICT&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: PICT versions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The PICT format has two versions:<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>PICT 1 format: The old format that only allowed eight colors and focused on compact storage.</li> <li>PICT 2 format: A superset of format 1 that supports 4, 8, 16 and 24-bit color and greyscale images. 32-bit color with a generally unused alpha channel is also supported.
