I typed out a reply, but then it wouldn't submit. It wasn't lost, so I'll paste it anyway, or else all that typing was wasted. 
Any graphics editing programme that can handle TGAs will do. I'll just mention two free ones: Paint.NET and GIMP. I prefer using Paint.NET, as it's smaller, faster and with less options also less confusing.
Image size is ca. 155-160 wide, by 180-190 high. If you resize your image to that, you can (copy with [CTRL+C] and then) paste it as a new layer into the Panel.TGA...
Paint.NET:
...with [CTRL+SHIFT+V], then move it into position if you click on the "blue" arrow (top right of the tools) {or press key M} and rotate it by grabbing a virtual/imaginary point (outside the image, it increases accuracy of the rotation) with using the right mouse-button.
GIMP:
I don't know the "paste as new layer" key-combo for GIMP, so it would require the use of the menu.
EDIT-> Paste As -> new layer. Then move it into position if you click on the move tool from the toolbox (Blue cross with arrow endings) {or press key M}. Rotating the image is done with the rotate tool (3 icons to the right of move) {Or press key combo [Shift+R]} and using the left mouse-button.
Merge layer down and save as 24Bit TGA (No RLE compression).
