What Program to use and how to extract Images?

I have been reading some threads in this section and some people are having problems that are caused by Alpha Channels. The Alpha channels are used for team colour and transparency, but people who use Warcraft 3 image extracter have to extract images as .tga images! But theres one problem! .Tga format does not support Alpha channels, so this is why i posted this thread.
TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO EXTRACT IMAGES!
1. Download Warcraft 3 Viewer
Link
2. Open Warcraft 3 Viewer

3. Go File > Open MPQ > Open War3.mpq or War3x.mpq

4. Look in treeview and you will see o MDX o BLP o Local Drives

5. Click the circle button near BLP

6. Look through for the skin you want to extract

7. Once found right-click and click Extract and convert BLP

8. Extract it as a .bmp as they keep Alpha channels

9. Once your image has been edited go Convert Files > BMP, TGA or JPG -> BLP

10. Your done now import!
