It supports various image formats and allows users to create detailed pixel art with selectable resolutions and grids. The interface includes on-screen icons and menu-driven commands, simplifying access to drawing functions and color selection.
The program supports mouse input, with optional joystick or stylus support, and includes a built-in print preview for producing hard-copy artwork.

Degas Elite was distributed on floppy disk and became a popular choice on the Atari ST among hobbyist graphic artists and desktop publishers.
