The prism paint compressed format uses the Packbits compression algorithm. For every
scanline the bitplanes are compressed separately. The falcon high-color resolution
(16 bit) is compressed as if there were 16 bitplanes, which there are not.
The same rule applies to 24 bits per pixel.
Additional information:
The TruePaint manual describes the format as designed for high speed and only writes
uncompressed files. Prism Paint on the other hand offers compression every time a
file is saved with an alert box (yes/no).
