Hi - no, that's not quite right I'm afraid - I suggest you read the original TBSS paper in NeuroImage. The only thing that is seletonised is the group-mean-FA image, after an initial nonlinear reg of all subjects into standard space, and averaging. Then all subject's data is 'projected' onto the skeleton - see the paper for details. Cheers.
