- Description
- The GEM (Graphical Environment Manager) Paint file type, with the extension .gem, originates from Digital Research's Graphical Environment Manager, which was an early graphical user interface for computers. These files are specifically used to store bitmap images created or manipulated within the GEM Paint application. GEM Paint provided users with basic tools for creating and editing images, much like early versions of Microsoft Paint. The .gem file format is primarily associated with the GEM desktop environment that was popular in the mid-1980s for PCs running CP/M and later on the Atari ST series of computers.
- Windows vector graphics format recognized by many image-editing applications; basically a 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile Format (.WMF), which only supports 16-bit data; saves image data in an RGB format and does not support CMYK data.
