PCF file and rename it to .ZIP − so "myfile.pcf" would become "myfile.zip". You can now open the file as an archive, and save any images you like out of the "graphics" directory. Note that the Pronto NG's black and white .BMP images are in 16−shades and may have a transparancy color, while the original Pronto can only use 4 shades with no transparancy.
Finally, color .PNG files designed for the ProntoPro NG may contain 24−bit color .BMP or .PNG graphics, which cannot be directly used by the Pronto or ProntoPro (which supports 256 colors). These image files can be converted to appropriate .BMP formats using various image editing programs, but note that the ProntoPro NG supports "alpha blend transparancies", something not supported by the regular Pronto or ProntoPro, and any designs using that capability may not look correct after conversion.
ProntoNEO .NCF and iPronto .ICF files work similarly to .PCF files: rename them to .ZIP, extract any images you like, then convert them to an appropriate 4−shade or 256−color .BMP format for importing into ProntoEdit.
