- Description
- The GIH file type is primarily associated with GigaPaint Hi-res, a specialized format used for storing high-resolution images created with the GigaPaint software. GigaPaint was an advanced graphics program popular on the Commodore Amiga computer during the late 1980s and early 1990s, designed for artists and graphic designers. The GIH format specifically caters to the storage of detailed and complex images, supporting a wide range of colors and high resolutions characteristic of the software's capabilities. These files allow for the preservation of intricate artwork and designs, making them a valuable resource for digital artists and retro computing enthusiasts.
- An image saved by Corel PHOTO-PAINT 7 or later (the file starts with CPT7FILE, CPT9FILE ...). It shares the .cpt extension with the older Corel PhotoPaint 6 format, and no converter here reads it yet.
