- Description
- The RIX file type, associated with ColoRIX, refers to an image file format used primarily in the late 1980s and early 1990s. ColoRIX was a graphics program that allowed users to create and manipulate images on PCs, particularly known for its use on systems running DOS. RIX files contain bitmap images saved in the ColoRIX format, supporting a range of colors and resolutions suitable for digital art and design of that era. Although not commonly used in modern graphics work, RIX files represent an interesting part of digital art history, especially for enthusiasts of retro computing and software.
- 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.
