Hello,
PICT is a container format, it can contain either raster or vectorial images.
it sounds like you have vectorial images.
on Mac, you can use the command to convert PICT to PDF,
which will result in "sharp" images.
otherwise you need to scale up the image before converting it to a
Hi Tom,
I took a look at the methods that are available in the component you
sent. It's not clear to me what I need to do in order to convert the
image format of an image that is stored in a picture field.
Is there any documentation available?
Thanks again,
Ken

Unfortunately I have no suggestions because we always do image
You should be able to automate conversion of most PICTs using JPR’s
PICT_Convert. However, if you have static PICTs pasted directly onto forms,
those will need to be individually visited. A v17 MSC log will give you a
listing of those, I think.

I want to clarify a typo...
The formats I tried to convert to were ".jpg", ".png", and ".tif". I
wrote "ipng" below for "png" format.

Hi Steve,
I tried converting the images to .jpg. ipng and .tif using CONVERT

To follow up on your question... I opened up a window that displayed one

Ken,
Just curious...
Do you get different results if you use a graphic's application for the
conversion?

Many thanks for that comprehensive and extensive commentary Tim !
