PICED FAQ

Solution

The PICED software supports the following graphic formats :

Bitmap (BMP)

Windows Meta Files (WMF)

JPEG

Icons (ICO)

Enhanced MetaFile (EMF)

GIF

PNG

To use other image formats (such as PCX), you will need to use a graphics program (such as

Microsoft Photo Editor) to convert the file format to one of the supported formats.

A free graphics tool you can download is IRFANVIEW.

Note that using bitmap files (BMP) will result in faster PICED operation, since there is no image

decompression required.
