I presume this is just a _pic file, if so yes.
The format of a Partial Save Area is:
Spare Long available to a user
Flag Word $4AFC
X_size Word width in pixels
Y_size Word Height in pixels
Increment Word length of one line in bytes
Mode Byte mode of saved image
Spare Byte zero
Image Increment*Y_size bytes
The "Image" is simply the exact copy of the part of the screen which is saved. If the mode is 33 (as for the Q40/60 extended colours) each pixel is a word. For mode 4 each word contains 8 pixels.
I would imagine that a _pic file is not in that format, but I could be wrong.
