PICT (PCT) technical notes
• Corel graphics programs can import vector drawings and bitmaps contained in PICT (PCT) files.
• Objects that contain a fill and an outline open as a group of two objects. One object is the outline, and the other is the fill.
• PICT fills are often bitmap patterns, and the Corel program tries to maintain these fills as bitmap patterns.
• Pattern outlines are converted to a solid color.
• Text in PICT files opens as editable text. If a typeface in the imported file is not available on your computer, it is converted to the font that
it most closely resembles.
• Text alignment may not be preserved in the original file. This is due to the differences in font size, and intercharacter and interword
spacing between the two formats. Any misalignment is easily corrected using the text formatting settings in the program.
PaintBrush (PCX)
The PaintBrush (PCX) file format is a bitmap format originally developed by the ZSoft Corporation for the PC Paintbrush program.
