Unlike TIFFRepresentation which is part of both NSImage and

How can access it so I can get a copy of my PICT data?

That's your problem right there - you don't *have* any PICT data.

- [NSPICTImageRep PICTRepresentation] will only return you the data from
an NSPICTImageRep that was created from a PICT in the first place.

Baring that, the only way (at least that I know) to get PICT data would be
to get the bitmap pixels directly and then use Quickdraw to make a PICT with that
data. Of how to do that, I remain cheerfully innocent.

Based on your response I assume that NSImage will create an instance of NSBitmapImageRep if I feed NSImage a PICT to begin with and will not create one if any other type is feed to it.

That brings up my next assumption/question:

If there may or may not be an instance of NSBitmapImageRep at the time of my drag operation I assume I need to search the NSArray returned by -representations: to find if it exists if I am asked to return PICT data on my pasteboard. I also assume I will have to do the same when I declare types for my pasteboard.

Q: Is there an equivalent to NSArray -firstObjectCommonWithArray: for classes (-firstClassCommonWithArray:?) or do I need to roll my own?
