The picture editor shows the pic itself in the main window, and the picture command list on the right. SCI pics consist of a series of vector drawing commands, and the editor reflects that "limitation". Bitmaps can be converted into vector drawings, but the process is inefficient, so you need to get used to thinking like the editor.
Pics consist of three "screens". The visual screen, which is what you see in the game, the priority screen, which controls which parts of the picture appear in front or behind the ego, and the control screen, which controls events that happen to characters in the game. You can view each of these screens by clicking on the appropriate button.
