Open it with whatever software you used to save it as an .art file and then click "File" then"save as" below the file name should be a drop down menu that enables you to change the extenion to .jpg.
And I'll here no more mentions of dead squirrel young man:(

You'll have to get the pic hosted on the web somewhere... imagestation.com springs to mind.

Then you just use a link to it

Bloody thing was wandering about in the road, I slowed down to give it a chance to fly off, but the dozy sod did'nt see me, and then POP! Unfortunately there was a mum with some small kids in tow who saw it :eek: probably scarred for life...

You'll need to find the link to the picture itself. Send me the link to your imagestation album and I'll pm you the link to the picture.
