Heres some advice.

1. Skins, icons and models have .blp files and the model itself is a .mdx file. You cannot load them if your image editing program doesnt support it.

2. You extract icons/skins/models from your mpq. Use WC3 Viewer (a free tool you can download) to extract it out and work on it. Of course you need to convert them to a supported image format which is supported for your image editing program.

3. As I said before, Darky has written tutorials on how to import icons and models. oz02 has written a tutorial on how to import skins/
