The Monochrome Picture is a legacy raster graphics format, occasionally referenced as a specialized TIFF bitmap, developed for the Tandy DeskMate operating environment. It was primarily utilized to store low-resolution black-and-white images for word processing documents and rudimentary drawing applications within the software suite. Although the format is obsolete and poses no modern security risks, accessing its contents currently requires specific file conversion utilities or legacy system emulation.
