- 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 JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
