- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
