- 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.
- The XCF file format is the native image format used by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks. XCF stands for eXperimental Computing Facility, which was the name of the lab where GIMP was originally developed. XCF files are designed to store all the information that GIMP needs to accurately render an image.
