- Description
- The PI6 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, graphics programs that were popular on the Atari ST computers during the late 1980s and early 1990s. These files contain images or artwork created and saved using the Degas or the more advanced Degas Elite software, which offered a variety of painting and drawing tools for digital artists. The PI6 format specifically denotes a particular resolution and color depth, characteristic of the capabilities of the Atari ST's graphical hardware. Despite being somewhat obsolete, the PI6 format remains of interest to vintage computing enthusiasts and digital art historians.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
