The standard graphics format on the Macintosh; can contain bitmap or vector information. Use the Export PICT dialog box to set the following options:

Dimensions

Sets the size of the exported bitmap image specified in pixels. The size you specify always has the same aspect ratio as your original image.

Resolution

Sets the resolution in dpi and automatically calculates width and height based on the size of your drawing. To set the resolution to match your monitor, select Match Screen. Bitmap PICT images usually look best onscreen with 72‑dpi resolution.

Include

Export the minimum image area or the full document size.

Color Depth

Designate whether the PICT file is object based or bitmap. Object-based images generally look better when printed, and scaling doesn’t affect their appearance. Bitmap PICT images normally look best onscreen and can be manipulated in applications such as Adobe Photoshop. You can also select a variety of color depths with bitmap PICT files.

Include Postscript

Available only for an object-based PICT file to include information that optimizes printing on a PostScript printer. This information makes the file larger and some applications might not recognize it.

Smooth Bitmap

Available only for bitmap PICT images. Applies anti-aliasing to smooth jagged edges of a bitmap image.
