Template Package for SkinStudio

Got a blessing from Frogboy to do this and would like some input on the templates themselves. So think back to the days when you just started building your first WB.........
The ability to import graphics through a template is missed at first by most new skinners, like me and we go about editing individual graphic bits and pieces trying to make everything work together. Using templates would surely improve a new skinner's first time experience with creating a basic skin and may encourage others to give it a go. The question is....should the templates be smaller individual templates for the various sections, i.e. one for frames, one for controls, one for buttons, etc. or should there just be one for all .bmp's and one for all .png's, which skinstudio does, thankfully convert to .tga's for you. I'm leaning toward individual templates.
Thanks ahead of time for any and all feedback
