- Description
- The PI1 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are graphics programs specifically designed for the Atari ST series of computers in the 1980s. These files contain bitmap images created or manipulated within the Degas software environment. The PI1 format supports a palette of fixed colors, characteristic of the graphical capabilities of the Atari ST at the time. It was widely used by artists and graphic designers working with Atari ST computers for digital art creation, game design, and other graphical projects.
- 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.
