If you are missing the dimensions or header
9
value, you can have Photoshop Elements estimate
the parameters. Either enter the correct height and
width values to estimate the header size, or enter
the correct header size to estimate the height and
width, and then click Guess.

when you save the file, select Retain When Saving.

Importing anti-aliased PICT files (Mac OS)
Choose File > Import > Anti-aliased PICT to
import object-oriented PICT files (such as those
created with MacDraw and Canvas) as smooth-
edged, or anti-aliased, images. Because the entire
PICT file must be held in memory for this module
to operate, you may not be able to use the module
with large PICT files.
The Anti-aliased PICT dialog box indicates the
current file size and dimensions. To change the
image dimensions, enter new values for Width and
Height. The file size is then updated. To maintain
image proportions, select Constrain Proportions.
You can choose Grayscale or RGB color mode for
an anti-aliased PICT file.

Importing PICT resources (Mac OS)
The PICT Resource module lets you read PICT
resources from a file—for example, from another
application. To open a PICT resource, choose
File > Import > PICT Resource.
To preview a resource, click Preview. Click the
arrow buttons to step forward and backward
through the resources. Note that the number
displayed for Resource refers to the resource's
position in ascending order in the resource fork
and not to the resource's identification number.
Note: In Photoshop Elements, you can also open a
file in the PICT Resource file format by choosing
File > Open, choosing All Documents from the Show
pop-up menu, selecting the file you want to open,
choosing PICT Resource from the Format pop-up
menu, and clicking Open. However, the Open
command automatically opens the first resource in
the file and does not display any other PICT
resources in the file.
Opening images in EPS TIFF or EPS PICT
Preview format
These formats let you open images saved in
file formats that create previews but are not
supported by Adobe Photoshop Elements (such
as QuarkXPress ). An opened preview image can
®
be edited and used like any other low-resolution
file. EPS PICT Preview is available only in Mac OS.
