'''Young Picasso''' is a paint program for DOS, designed for children. It was developed by Scarborough Digital, later Blueview Software. It has an associated '''.YP''' raster graphics format.

== Format details ==
YP format seems to have a 24-byte header, but strangely, only every third byte is used.

== Identification ==
YP files apparently start with bytes (hex) {{magic|50 00 00 50 00 00 52 00 00}}, which might be a signature (Pablo Picasso's initials?).

== Software ==

The header is 24 bytes, with two of every 3 bytes having value 0. Whether the header is specific to Young Picasso is unknown.

-YP (v1.3-1.5) format seems to have a 24-byte header, but only every third byte is used, the rest being zeroes. This could be a hack to make the files compatible with older versions of the software. If so, there must be an older version of the format that lacks the header.
