thanks for those answer which means I am ahead, for my info then, is there a upload photo site that accept png, and would png cause this problem when posting directly to a site when allowed(depending on the site in question they either let you post a link from a site like photobucket or they let up you upload the photo with a browse option(does one have to convert png each time

As eriefisher said: Use convert (ImageMagick)

Same thing in the konsole:
man convert

or

NAME
mogrify - resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,
