I received an email file from a new member.. it has the file extension .art Does anyone know what this is, and what software to use to convert it.

 

".art Graphics (scrapbook) (Art Import)"

http://webopedia.internet.com/quick_ref/fi...extensions.html

just try to open it up in paint, photoshop, something of the sort.

 

I've never heard of a .art file ... neither has http://www.wotsit.org/ or http://www.extsearch.com/ which have a pretty good list of file formats ... are you sure it's not a .arj? That's a compression utility (like .zip).

http://www.computronics.be/courses/append/fileext.html says it's a First Publisher Clip Art file ... http://www.sillyeagle.com/fileext.html and http://www.ubak.gov.tr/Search/Resch/exteng.htm#A are two other lists of file extensions that have it listed ...

Of course knowing what it is and knowing how to open it are two different things ... I'd suggest a kind note to whoever sent the file to you asking them what it is ... how to convert it ... if they could convert it for you ...

Have fun,
Derek

 

I did email the person.. however they say they are not to techy inclined. Oh well.

I did try to open it is paint and photoshop with no luck.. it is a .art file for sure...


Not the end of the world.

 

Did you peeps get that virus that comes around asking you to check something out? Seems as if it were the same type of file...

The format that ends in the extension .ART is valid.

You should be able to open the file by selecting "File" "Open" in Internet Explorer.

 

doesn't AOL have some sort of .art image file type?

 

josh, I believe you are correct. IE requires that you install an AOL graphic extension plugin - just go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and it should be there under product updates near the bottom.
