- Description
- The PCP file type is associated with Atari graphics, specifically designed for use on Atari computer systems, which were popular in the 1980s and early 1990s. These files contain image data in a format that was native to the Atari platform, allowing for the storage and display of graphical content. The format is characteristic of the era's limitations and capabilities in digital graphics, reflecting the color palettes, resolution, and memory constraints of Atari computers. PCP files are primarily of interest to enthusiasts of retro computing and those preserving or studying video game history and early computer graphics.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
