- Description
- The PC1 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are graphics programs designed for use on the Atari ST series of computers in the 1980s. These applications were popular for their ability to create detailed digital art and illustrations, leveraging the advanced graphical capabilities of the Atari ST. PC1 files specifically contain image data saved in a format native to these programs, supporting various resolutions and color palettes available on the Atari platform. Due to the specialized nature of the PC1 format, opening or editing these files requires specific software or emulators capable of emulating the Atari ST environment.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
