Hmm, I would've thought Photoshop elements would handle a .bmp. However since you're presumably running OS X you should be able to open the file in Preview (in your Applications folder) and go to File -> Save As to save it as a JPEG or other format that elements will handle.

Preview also lets you do most basic operations you might need, like cropping the image, and in later versions of OS X lets you tweak contrast and things.

I'm glad that worked for you, Rosele. Just to add my L$.02: I use Photoshop Elements for BMPs from SL with no problems. I've even used PSE from as far back as version 3 for BMPs.
