Sys 6 will also do this for you, but only in two bit (BW) mode. Steve is
right about it being a PICT file, and most graphics programs will recognize
this format (open from within the application), if you are feeling adventurous
you could always use something like "Filetyper" to change the creator to the
application of your choice.
I've never used Gel reader, but I assume its output is in color....which is
one more reason to update to System 7.
