Arrow Banners & Badges

Alright, so here's the deal: I have Photoshop Elements 2.0, but when I try to create badges and save them as a "targa" in the badges folder, they won't appear in the game. Fortunately I've found a clever way around this by downloading other people's badges and then creating my own and placing it on top of theirs. The only downside to this is that I can only make badges that are the same shape as the badges I downloaded. Ex: I download the black templars badge which is in the form of a cross, but when I try to put (let's say) a circle shaped badge on top, it turns into a cross-shaped cut out of my original circle badge in the game.

This all might be hard to understand, so here it is in black & white: I need to know how to make my own badges and banners. I feel kind of rediculous creating only circular badges.

Do you have to convert them to .tga files? If so, how?

Here are the pics I want to convert:

You can use this free program GIMP but whatever you use there is a tutorial on it here http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=29879

http://www.gimp.org/windows/ this is for windows but on the site there are ones for other OS.
