- 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.
- The PI4 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are image file formats used primarily on the Atari ST series of computers in the 1980s and early 1990s. These files contain bitmap graphics created or manipulated within the Degas or Degas Elite drawing programs, which were notable for their powerful features and user-friendly interfaces during their time. PI4 files specifically represent images saved in a low-resolution mode, which typically means a palette of 16 colors from a selection of 512, at a resolution of 320x200 pixels. The format was widely used for digital art, game design, and multimedia presentations within the Atari ST community.
