Open map at MPQMaster
extract preview.tga
open with photoshop or what ever software you want to edit
change what you want.
save as .tga
add back in.

If it has no war3mapPreview.tga in it, then the map must be using the minimap as the map's preview.....
so if you want to add the map's preview image, make sure the preview file's name is "war3mapPreview" with tga extension.. hope this solve all of your problems..
