Other helpful tips for skinning would be to create them in .PSD formatting as opposed to .TGA formatting. The .PSD would allow you to create and save layering which would make it easier to go back later on and make changes.

So after you create a file under the .PSD format:
1) Click "Save" to save it. For example, FileA.psd
2) Click "Save As" and save another file under a .TGA format. For example, FileA.tga.
3) Ususally you can just insert that .TGA file into textures\tnormal\tex and it'll show up in-game.
-Note: don't delete your .PSD file. You can go back and edit that later.
-And if you use GIMP, save often, just as a precaution. It usually doesn't crash on me, but it happens. Better safe than sorry...
