TSHPI Error: Unknown File Format???

I just tried importing a .bmp and I'm getting this error and I don't know why.

I am replacing Boozer's head his .viv is already in the game. I extracted the pic, did my editing, saved the pic as cabooze.bmp and tried to import it but am getting this error.

It's in .bmp so I don't understand what's wrong. Is it maybe the way I saved the .bmp is photoshop.

Can anyone help?

Thanks...

click on the left menu, under tutorials, "cyberface editing".

you need to first extract the .viv file for the player. Then, open that .viv file in EA Graph and import in the .bmp file. Then it should finally work. It worked for me!
