custom monsters

Okay, thanks man. Your thoroughness is much appreciated.

But, I've come across another minor obstacle. In editing, I had gone around and erased the colors around the figure I wanted as my monster, leaving the background canvas intact. In-game, it displays the monster graphic with the big white box background around it. To fix it, I went into photoshop and began erasing the canvas...but the tool it uses is a spraycan, not a pixel; so it works as a circle where the inside gets completely erased and the edges just get faded a bit, whereas a pixel would let me get right in there and cut out the canvas completely. Do you by any chance know how to change it into a pixel? Or maybe how I could go about this in MS Paint?

If it'd be easier, my AOL Instant Messenger name is: this is the dark. IM me if it'd be easier to kind of walk me through it than explain it.
