You don't want to convert PICT to GIF or JPEG, that will likely result in
a noticable loss of quality: GIF has a limited color palette and JPEG
doesn't do well with vector art unless you use a very high quality
setting.  PICT is supported by Preview/Quartz and will likely be available
on the Mac for a long time to come.  If you want to share with people on
other platforms, PNG is a good format.
