Try taking a look at ToyViewer:

http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~ogihara/software/OSX/index.html

It doesn't appear to export to PICT, but I have done copy and paste
from ToyViewer into Newton Press.

You might also take a look at Goldberg:

http://mypage.bluewin.ch/opus/freeware/g2/osx.html

Goldberg can save as PICT, but the available image manipulation options
are fewer than those available in ToyViewer. I think you can get an
image more suitable for Newton Book format from the latter.
