I need some help. I'm a huge rurouni kenshin fan, and my RS Army has a forum. Now i want an avatar to be added, but it needs to be in .jpg or .jpeg format to work (no more than 250x250x250 pixels) but here's my problem. My computer will only save the images as .art or .bmp but i really want to convert them! Im confused as to how to do this but I would really really really really appreciate it if someone could tell me how.

.art seems to be an AOL image format that is the default when an AOL user copies an image to disk. I could find no conversion tool.

bmp can be converted to jpg with Irfanview.


Here's a site that explains .art files

www.irfanview.com

somewhere in a preferences settingin AOL you can tell it to not compress graphics which should allow you to save as jpg right from the web. this has been asked plenty...I'll see if I can find a link...
