- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
