Issue
When you save a PICT file from ArchiCAD and select the gray-scale option for the color-depth of the resulting image, ArchiCAD will still save it in color.
Cause
The reason is that on Mac the PICT format tries to retain vectorial information and in such a case color-depth cannot be set.
Solution
Save the PICT file in color, then open it in any Photo-Editing software, then convert it to gray-scale and save it.
