- Description
- A PCT file is an image saved in the Macintosh PICT format, which was developed by Apple in 1984 for storing images using Apple QuickDraw technology. It contains image data in one of two formats, PICT 1, the original format that stores 8 colors, or PICT 2, a newer format that allows thousands of colors (24 and 32-bit images). PCT files support both raster and vector images.
- The ICB file format, standing for Targa ICB Bitmap Image, is a type of image file associated with the Targa (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) image format. Targa files, including ICB, are known for their versatility in handling various types of digital images, including color, grayscale, and monochrome. The ICB variant is part of a broader family of Targa formats, which are often used in professional environments for digital video editing, animation, and graphic design.
