A file format used with Macintosh applications and computers that can contain both bit-mapped and object-oriented images. PICT II is the current standard and supports 32-bit color (more than 16 million colors).
Macintosh picture. A storage format for digital images designed for the Macintosh.
Apple's format for displaying 72 dpi bitmapped graphics. PICT data is one element of an EPS file, allowing PostScript data to be viewed on screen.
A low resolution, bitmapped format generally used for viewing privileges on a computer monitor only; rarely is the quality suitable for print. to top
Macintosh®-based graphics format.
A file format for both object oriented graphics and bitmap images.
A graphic file format developed by Apple to hold bitmap images. See WMF, BMP.
A still-image file format developed by Apple Computer. PICT files can contain both vector images and bitmap images, as well as text and an alpha channel. PICT is a ubiquitous image format on Mac OS computers.
(pronounced "pickt") Another type of image format. It's the Macintosh version of a bitmap.
A primarily Macintosh format, often used for graphic file interchange between Macintosh applications but less support exists on other systems. PC suffix .pic/ .pict
A graphics file format widely used among Macintosh graphics and page-layout applications as an intermediary file format for transferring files between applications.
A image file format on the Apple Macintosh platform.
A common format for defining images and drawings on the Macintosh platform. PICT2 supports 24-bit color.
The default graphics format on Macintoshes.
A Macintosh graphic image format; the newest version can be compressed and supports 24-bit color images; supported by most Mac and PC graphic programs.
A digital file format common on the Macintosh. Rarely found on Windows machines.
Apple Quickdraw metaformat
A common format for defining bitmapped object-oriented images on the Macintosh often used as a preview for EPS files. The more recent format (PICT2) supports 24-bit color. The PICT format is not recommended for use in files intended for separation.
A picture file format developed by Apple. It stores the image with a lower resolution.
A graphic file format, often used on Apple Mac.
An acronym, without a strict definition, for a metafile file format. PICT files contain bitmapped or object oriented information. Some people love PICT files because they are excellent for importing and printing black and white graphics, like logos. Others hate them because they don't always retain all of the information in the original image.
Original generic file format for encoding illustrations on a Macintosh platform.
(PICTure) The primary Macintosh graphics file format. It holds QuickDraw vector images, bitmapped images and text and is the Mac counterpart to the Windows Metafile (WMF) format. When PICT files are converted to the PC, they use the .PCT file extension.
A file-format for encoding both bitmapped and object-oriented graphical images.
A Macintosh picture file format that does not apply compression to an image. It is therefore termed a lossless format. PICT file format maintains the same quality level from copy to copy. The PICT file format is recommended when exporting a still image from a DV clip if the intent is to reuse the image in a movie in iMovie.
The default graphics format on Macintosh computers.
An Apple Macintosh file format for saving raster (pixel based) images. The file format is uncompressed and therefore loss-less. The file format typically cannot be opened natively on Windows Operating System, however some cross platform applications such as Adobe Photoshop can read the file format on both the Macintosh and Windows Operating Systems.
PICT is an image file format that is used primarily for screen-oriented graphics (most commonly in a Macintosh environment). Despite the fact that the file architecture is capable of supporting the full content of very detailed graphic files, it is not used as a standard for laying out print documents.
standard format for Macintosh, can contain both vector and bitmap information; maximum colors = 16.7 million
A standard file format for exchanging graphics or image information.
Picture — A common bitmap graphic file format. File format for object-oriented graphics. PICT files can be written and read by many applications, and most page layout programs can import (place) PICT files.
A standard data format in which most Macintosh illustrations are encoded.
Pronounced "Pick,t." It is another image format.
A computer format for graphic files. Not a preferred format for professional printing purposes.
The PICT format was originally developed by Apple Computer in the mid-1980s. The PICT format supports RGB files with a single alpha channel, and indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap files without alpha channels. The PICT format is especially effective at compressing images with large areas of solid color.
A common format for defining bitmapped images on the Macintosh. The more recent PICT2 format supports 24-bit colour.
A graphics file format used primarily on Macintosh computers. PICT files can contain both object-oriented and bit-mapped graphics. There are two types: PICT I and PICT II. PICT II is the current standard and supports colour up to 24-bit.
This is the standard image format for Apple or Macintosh computers. It is not compatible with the Internet.
Another type of image format. A PICT file can contain black and white, color, or grayscale information, as can a TIFF or EPS file. A PICT image uses a language called QuickDraw to render the graphic. QuickDraw is limited in precision and cannot contain complex curves or special text effects, making a PICT image a bad choice for imagesetting to film or plate. A PICT file is acceptable for laser printer or low resolution output.
The standard MacIntosh digital image data encoding format.
A Macintosh file format used for graphics.
A Macintosh file format that is used to display and save images. Save a PhotoShop image as a PICT to open it in a video or animation program (but not for colour separation).
The native bitmapped file format for Macintosh images.
Type of image format largely used by Mac OS systems.
Not an acronym, though some people think this stands for Prehistoric, Incompatible, Crummy Tiff-substitute. A standard file format that allows for the exchange of graphic images (usually bitmapped) on the Macintosh.
Macintosh image file format that does not apply compression to the image, therefore termed a 'Iossless' format. PICT file format maintain quality between copy's.
(Abbreviation for PICTURE) an image file format used by Apple Macintosh.
A Macintosh graphic imaging file format using a pct extension (*.pct). May contain object-oriented and bitmapped graphics.
a common graphic ( PICT ure) file format (pronounced "picked") on the Macintosh, also used under Windows. Also PIC and PCT, especially under Windows where extensions are limited to three characters.
PICTure; Apple's native picture file format. Used for interactive applications, CD-Rom images, video stills, slide show presentations
A picture file format developed by Apple Computer, Inc. for use on Macintosh computers. The PICT format is adequate for storing and displaying data at 72 dpi, using the Macintosh screen, but is not sophisticated enough for higher-quality work.
it's a standard image format for Macintosh; it was designed as both a vector and bitmapped image format. PICT is not efficient for storing large documents (10Mb or larger).
Picture Format. A colour file format exclusively for Macintosh.
Personalizes the display panel of the receiver with favorite stills and moving images. Images and graphics created on a computer can be saved on a SD card and upload to the head unit. Screensaver images can be automatically accessed and changed like a slideshow. The Image Link function allows linking an image – a photo of a musician, jacket cover, or anything else – with an album of MP3/WMA music files, making it easy to identify the music currently playing.
PICT is a graphics file format introduced on the original Apple Macintosh computer as its standard metafile format. It allows the interchange of graphics (both bitmapped and vector), and some limited text support, between Mac applications, and was the native graphics format of the Quickdraw Manager.
