    Does anyone remember how to open a .pict file ? Is the format Screenshots are being saved as ( on my Mac Mini )

    Wikipedia is singularly unhelpful !

    The .pict extension was something Apple created. Any Adobe image editing program should be able to open it, but I'd just launch Preview and drag it over.

    Neea,

    I can tell you what works for me in 10.6.8. I double-click the screenshot within Finder which opens the file in the Preview app. From Preview I can view it or click File -> Save As to convert it to another format like JPG or PNG.

    If Preview mentions a 64-bit error, do this once to fix things:

    Launch a new window in Finder.
    Navigate to your Applications folder.
    From the list of apps in that folder, right-click on Preview and select Get Info.
    Checkmark the Open in 32-bit field.

    For a long time PC-EQ screenshots were just the BMP format and I don't think it was changeable for a while after Al'Kabor's fork. When they made the Mac version, Westlake (outsourced developers of the original client) set ours to PICT.
