- Description
- The PC3 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are bitmap graphics editing programs developed for the Atari ST computer system in the 1980s. These applications were specifically designed to leverage the graphical capabilities of the Atari ST, allowing users to create and manipulate pixel-based images. PC3 files contain image data saved in a proprietary format used by these programs, supporting various resolutions and color palettes available on the Atari platform. While largely obsolete today, the PC3 format and its associated software hold historical significance in the realm of early computer graphics design and development.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
