That is correct. If the AOL user turns off image compression (in their
browser preferences) then they get a double bonus:
1) Images will look better in their browser
2) They'll be able to download them in their native file format.
Only downfall: possible slower browsing speed. The improved image quality is
worth it, IMO.
As far as actually editing the .art file format, don't know what apps, if
any, can handle that.
