- 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.
- The PC3 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are bitmap graphics editing programs developed for the Atari ST computer system in the 1980s. These applications were specifically designed to leverage the graphical capabilities of the Atari ST, allowing users to create and manipulate pixel-based images. PC3 files contain image data saved in a proprietary format used by these programs, supporting various resolutions and color palettes available on the Atari platform. While largely obsolete today, the PC3 format and its associated software hold historical significance in the realm of early computer graphics design and development.
