Converting AOL.ART compressed files
via email
I have hundreds of pictures I once stored from AOL using their
compression. I now know that was not a "good thing". The pictures are
AOL.art
When I try to open, say 4.jpg, with almost any jpeg reader such as
Photoshop this is the message that I get.
Could not open "4.jpg" because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker is
found.
Using GraphicConverter the message is:
The document "4.jpg" is in ART format. This is a proprietary format of
AOL. So, I can't import the file.
You can avoid the creation of ART files in the AOL software. Please
uncheck the option "Use compressed Images" in the preferences of the
AOL software.
The question is has anyone found anyway to convert these to useable
jpg's without saving them to pict format, opening them in photoshop and
saving as .jpg? Surely somewhere there is a nonproprietary software or way.
[Wow, a file format that GraphicConverter doesn't support; I didn't realize there was such a thing! :-) -Adam]
