The answer is yes. Both use the IFF format and both can read and write 
lo-res pictures that the other can read (some redunancy there). I haven't
tried to read/write medium and High res images since IMAGES doesn't 
support them. Note that the backgrounds used in Animator scripts are also
lo-res IFF images, but masks and scripts aren't. The truly nice thing
about this is that it is entirely possible to transfer files all over 
the place and be compatible. (I don't know if GraphicCraft is IFF format
or not).
