- 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 PI4 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are image file formats used primarily on the Atari ST series of computers in the 1980s and early 1990s. These files contain bitmap graphics created or manipulated within the Degas or Degas Elite drawing programs, which were notable for their powerful features and user-friendly interfaces during their time. PI4 files specifically represent images saved in a low-resolution mode, which typically means a palette of 16 colors from a selection of 512, at a resolution of 320x200 pixels. The format was widely used for digital art, game design, and multimedia presentations within the Atari ST community.
