mac OS IMAGE file extensions needed

[mlchris2]

I am working hand-in-hand with my development team and need to find out what IMAGE file extensions are associated with mac OS 9/10.

I figure the standard jpg, bmp, tiff are a few, but I reall want those specific to mac OS.

your insight is greatly appriciated

The only one speciific to mac was ".pict". OS 9 and earlier did not use file extensions - as that was built into the data fork of the file.

For the most part OSX relies on tiff and pdf rather than pict.

Using OSX 10.3.8 on a G4

Hi Mark

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to do?

As jmgalvin states - the only file format ever associated with Mac only WAS PICT - i don't think there is any specific file format now!?


Kind Regards

We have a web application that contains a file upload feature. We are testing the handling of Pictures/Image files. In testing, I want to be sure the software can handle any type of mac OS file uploaded.

I will test with pdf, tiff and pict images.

thanks

use Image::Magick as this can handle almost anything (& maybe Ghostscript)

mlchris2,

I don't think you're communicating your needs clearly - Macs use the same image formats (jpg, png, gif, tiff, psd, pdf, etc.) that windows uses. pict format is obsolete and are no longer used.

thats what I needed to find out, if the MAC OS use the same image formats that windows uses.

thank you.
