5.5) Where can I find the format of picture files and resources? (Imaging with QuickDraw - Mac Programming)

The format of a picture resource version 1 is defined in a technical

The format of a picture resource version 2 is defined in Old Inside Mac
vol V, with addenda in Old Inside Mac vol VI.

The format of a picture file is the same as that of a picture resource
with 512 added 0 bytes in front.
