(Mac OS) A PICT resource is a PICT file but takes a name and resource ID number. The 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.
