- Description
- It is an icon image file used to show application icons in the macOS Finder and macOS dock. It contains one or several .PNG images and it supports 1bit and 8-bit alpha channels.
- The sci file type is associated with ColoRIX, a once-popular image editing software developed in the late 1980s for use on DOS-based personal computers. These files are essentially image files that contain graphics data, including the layout, colors, and other image attributes defined by the ColoRIX software. The sci format was specifically designed to support the capabilities of the ColoRIX program, enabling users to create and manipulate digital images with a variety of tools and effects offered by the software. While the ColoRIX program and its associated sci file format are largely obsolete in modern computing, they represent an early example of digital image editing technology.
