Images can save files in PICT format (the same format used by MacDraw).
This consists of 512 bytes of header followed by a standard Quickdraw
picture.  

The easiest way to get a PICT *resource* is to copy the picture and paste it
into the Scrapbook.  Then use Resedit to copy the PICT resource and paste it
somewhere else.  You could also write a program that reads the picture from
the data fork ofthe PICT file and create a PICT resource.

I believe this is one of the programs found in the Colorizer package, which
is a commerical package of color utilities for the Mac II.
