It's quite simple, just download Wc3viewer here (if u don't have it): http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Tools&ID=11&sid=09d2e480c2ece99afce62ea4e77bdaf9

Search for TerrainArt in the "Search for MPQ" alternative, and you'll get a list of Tilesets to edit.

Now, open the tileset and press the "Extract and convert" button, and then open it with a painting program (even Paint works fine). Then edit it the way you want, go to Wc3viewer and do "Convert BMP/JPG/TGA to BLP", select your edited tile, and convert it.

Now open the TFT World editor, and import your BLP-tile through Import Manager, change path-name to TerrainArt\<Name of your tile>.blp . Make sure that the path is the same as the one in the "Search for MPQ" Window. Now, save the map, restart the WE, and if you did all fine, you should be able to see your Tileset instead of the tile you edited.

I think this would work, i've never tried myself, but it should be like skinning.

=( i got all the way to the part where u change the path and i did it all but you never said how to add it to the tileset list! im so sad thanks anyways

Don't change the path, use the path name of the tile you converted, and it should be changed when you restart WE...

can u use that one program to change skins to Oo like using paint

What is an opaque alpha channel?

Well, u can open them in Wc3viewer, extract the mdx and skin to a folder, then put the skin in folders as the path name is before it (ex. Textures\footman, put the skin in <your folder>\Textures.)
