I need basic Help

I download a skin and open it in the skinner.
I then immediately export it with a new name.
I open the new ssk and the skinner says 'An error occurred loading the skin. Are you sure the skin has a valid bitmap'

Have you tried locating the bitmap file using the "browse" button? This error occurs also when the bitmap file is not found .

SSK file are zip file - try renaming it, and extracting the contents, and then opening the files which were inside instead.

Thanks. I didn't understand Sooyke's post at the time, extracting the contents now makes sense.
