| Picture Clipping Format | Apple | Raster Image Files |
The PICTCLIPPING file extension is primarily associated with Apple's Macintosh computers and Mac OS X operating system. It is a type of raster graphic image which is stored in a flattened version of the QuickDraw Pen Picture format. A PICTCLIPPING file is composed of vector elements, line art designs, object-oriented graphic shapes, and bitmap images, all of which are stored as a single frame within a QuickTime movie or image file. Thus, the file can be used to store graphical content such as logos, charts, clipart and text boxes.
Since PICTCLIPPING files use vector elements, they can be easily resized without losing their quality or clarity; however, due to the compression used in the QuickTime format, they may suffer from some quality loss. As with most other QuickTime-associated files, the native application for opening a PICTCLIPPING file is Apple's QuickTime Player. Alternatively, they can be opened and converted into other formats using the software Pro Motion or Image Processors. Other similar file extensions include .PICT, .PIC, and .TIFF.
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PICTCLIPPING) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PICTCLIPPING extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PICTCLIPPING file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PICTCLIPPING extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PICTCLIPPING extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PICTCLIPPING file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PICTCLIPPING file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PICTCLIPPING file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PICTCLIPPING file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PICTCLIPPING file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
