- 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 PI2 file type is associated with Degas and Degas Elite, which are image editors and painting programs developed for the Atari ST series of computers in the 1980s. These files contain bitmap graphics created or edited within the Degas or Degas Elite software, supporting various resolutions and color palettes available on the Atari ST. The PI2 format is specifically used to denote images saved in a medium resolution of 640x200 pixels with 4 colors. While now considered obsolete, the PI2 and its associated software were popular among Atari users for creating digital art and illustrations.
