One small addition to Jacque's wise recommendation of the great Graphic
Converter: For cross-platform use, have the PICTs converted to another
format when they are saved out, as MC can only display PICT in Mac OS.
PNG is generally good for those, but if they're photos you may get better
compression with JPEG.
