Hmm, what image file are you trying to open? Does it have an extension like
bmp, tga or png?  You cannot open a file with the extension pov directly
using a program like Photoshop, PSP, MSPaint. You need to render it first
using POV-Ray. If you don't know how to do so I would suggest to read it up
in the help file. You will also find a tutorial explaining everything step
by step.
