- Description
- The PICT2 file format, also known as Macintosh QuickDraw/PICT, is a graphics file format used primarily on Apple Macintosh computers. It is an upgrade of the original PICT format, designed to support more sophisticated graphics capabilities, including 32-bit color. PICT2 files are used for storing and exchanging graphical images, incorporating both bitmap and vector data. This format was widely used in Macintosh applications for illustrations, layouts, and page design before being succeeded by more modern formats.
- A PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
