Not completely sure what you mean....
Whenever you work on a skin, ALWAYS save as a template first (RGB, with all layers) as a .xcf file. That way you can always go back and make any changes you want. Once you're happy with what you've got, flatten image, change mode to indexed and save as .bmp file.
I would suggest however, that you flatten the image but keep it as RGB, then save as a .bmp file and convert it using Bright, a great tool that will keep your skin looking sharp and clean.
If you have no template and just a skin, convert it to RGB, go to Layer>Transperency>color to apha (make sure white is the selected color in the color to alpha window). Now you need a new background layer - In your layers and channels window, select new layer and when the window pops up select white. Drop this new layer to the bottom, this will be your background layer.
I hope this helps you :wink:
