No, they go in the "Portraits" folder.

Six is, as always, correct, except there is a catch to some of the NPCs... They were hard-coded to look for very specific portrait names. Some do follow the standard format, others do not. Some require UPPER CASE and others do not. The best way to find out the exact name you should use is to open Infinity Explorer and look in the .bmp folder and see what they named the NPC portrait and name your new portrait exactly the same thing.

For the exact sizing and color depth the program requires for portraits, just look at the program's "Readme" file or do a search on this same topic in this forum.
