- Description
- The XCF file format is the native image format used by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks. XCF stands for eXperimental Computing Facility, which was the name of the lab where GIMP was originally developed. XCF files are designed to store all the information that GIMP needs to accurately render an image.
- 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.
