Convert .art Formatted Images
AOL Method
You can Convert a .art image file to the proper format by usingAOL.
Download the file.
Determine if you can open it with your graphics program if not its probably
in .art format
On the Aol Menu (top menu) select FILE then OPEN
Search for the .art file you downloaded.
Click the file to open it. AOLs File Viewer window opens and the picture is
displayed.
Once the file is open simply save it in the proper fromat.
Aols file Viewer handles Gifs, Jpg, bmp, as well as other formats.
Windows Internet Explorer Method
You can Convert a .art image file to .bmp by usingWindows Internet Explorer.
Yep the same program you surf the internet with! And then covert the .bmp to
a smaller .jpg file.
First download the file and determine if you can open it with your graphics
program if not its probably in .art format. If the files extension is e.i.
mydlfile.art its easy to tell but many times you'll find the files extension
point to it being a .jpg or .gif but its not.
To Convert first change the file you could not open extension to .art (i.e.)
myfile.jpg which you downloaded wont open ??? so change the name to
myfile.art Note: There is a very useful free graphics program that I use
that can determine if the file is really .art format and change the
extension for you when you try to open the file with it called Irfanview.
Irfanview however can not work with these files but will change the
extension for you. Many graphic applications can not handle this .art file
format.
Open Windows Internet Explorer
Select FILE then OPEN
Set the File type to search for to .art
Find the .art file you downloaded and open that file.
The .art file will open in Windows Internet Explorer.
Now save the file BUT on the Save window select File type and save as .bmp
From there you can convert the .bmp to a .jpg file with a graphics program
like Irfanview or Windows Paint program found normally Start> Accessories>
