I use GraphicConverter Classic. Allows you to edit and save PICT. What
you will most likely be doing though is copying and pasting in to the
resource file you create. Then load them at compile time into your
project with code similar to this:

rf : = OpenResFileX(HOME & "resourcefile.rc");
DefConst('kMyImage, GetPictAsBits("NAMEOFRESOURCE", nil));
CloseResFileX(rf);
