A few minutes ago, I experimented quickly with that site from Kubuntu
9.10. There are at least three ways to export the image to .png.
First method. Simply download the original .jpg file via Firefox, open
and save it with Gimp. You can select from there .png and several
other formats. !! But even after selecting the format, you need to
manually give in the name, including "..png". Otherwise it will not
work.
Second method. Go back to the website. Use KSnapshot or a similar
screenshot package in Gnome. Save the image in .png.
Third method. Go back again to the site and download the original .jpg
file. Open the file with Gwenview or a similar Gnome package. Save it
under another name as .png.

I hope these three ideas will help you.

Respectfully yours,

Bas.
