Go here.

Download and install the application. Open the application.

Go to file ---> Open.
Open your .png

Go to file ---> save as...
When you are saving it, click the drop down box and save it as a .gif
Try the new GFX in your level/npc. If you did it right, it should work, also, it shouldn't distort the image.

(There is a way of making it so that your .png image will work, but I decided to keep it simple.)

NO!

Don't use .GIF!

The problem is because the PNG has been saved to 24bit. Graal2 only supports 8bit images.

Make a .gif, then drag it into the Gif3MNG icon to create a .PNG copy. (It makes an MNG if it's an animated .gif, a PNG if it's a static .gif)

If you're looking for help on transparency you should go to the graphics forum... Actually, this should've been there in the first place.

Moved.
