Files can be saved in several formats - Photoshop, TIFF, PICT and QuickTime movie.
Photoshop
Files saved in the Photoshop format contain RGB color channels on either a transparent layer or a layer with a layer mask, and may optionally contain an additional background color layer. See the Maskerade preferences for more information about these options. The Photoshop format is the most common format for saving Maskerade images because the images are easily opened in Photoshop for further editing and compositing. The type and creator file signature are set to '8BPS' and '8BIM' respectively, so the files may be double-clicked and opened directly in Photoshop.TIFF
Files saved in the TIFF format contain RGB color channels plus an alpha channel. The file type is set to 'TIFF'.PICT
Files saved in the PICT format contain RGB color channels plus an alpha channel. The file type is set to 'PICT'.Note: PICT files can be a maximum of 4080 pixels in width.
QuickTime
Files saved in the QuickTime movie format contain a video track with the transparent image and a video track with the animated color background.
