Well, the easy conversion is the Dpaint III one.  Just transfer the files over
and run Dpaint II on the IBM.  You can load the IFF images right in.

If you need to convert, use a GIF conversion routine on the Amiga to store the
file in GIF format and then you can easily use another GIF decoder on the IBM
and save it into whatever format you desire such as PCX, PIC etc.

A couple of programs of real value for the IBM are Vpic and Picem.  They both
load in a variety of image types and save them out to another variety of Image
types.  They even allow you to play with the R,G,B values as well as contrast
and brightness before saving the files back out.

If you need any of these items, you can call my system and pick them up. 
Phone number is in my signature.
