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.
