A
file format developed by
Apple Computer in 1984. PICT
files are encoded in
QuickDraw commands and can hold both
object-oriented images and
bit-mapped images. It is
supported by all
graphics programs that
run on
Macintosh computers.
The original PICT format supported 8 colors. Modern versions of PICT, including PICT2, support 32-bit color (more than 16 million colors).
