- Description
- The PC2 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, graphics editing programs that were popular on the Atari ST computers during the 1980s. These files contain image data created and saved using the Degas software, which was renowned for its versatility in creating detailed digital art and animations. PC2 files specifically store pictures in a compressed format, allowing artists to manage and store their creations more efficiently without significant loss of detail. Despite the age of the software, PC2 files can still be of interest to retro computing enthusiasts and digital art historians exploring the development of early computer graphics.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
