1. Download World editor unlimited
2. Install
3. Start enhancer
4. Go to "edit map"
5. switch tab to "imported files"
6. give the program your picture

And there it is...

What?
You can use any and every WE even the default..
Just make the image 256x256, then save it as a .tga called "war3mapPreview.tga"
Then import into the map and change the file path to "war3mapPreview.tga"

and boom..There you go it works by auto...
