How to make BLPs?

I've never done any graphical modifications to WC3 before, so I'm totally lost here.

How do you convert .BMPs to .BLP? All the programs I could find seem to convert one way, but can't be used to convert them back. =(

Use Image Extractor II in the download section.

I believe you need to use Image Extractor II just like the previous replies to this thread have suggested, but you will need a program to edit tga's. This is because tga files, unlike a .bmp, support transparent effects which are needed in blp files for in-game color manipulation. Adobe Photo Shop is what I use.
