I have since found imageAlpha, which creates these special kinds of images. It turns out that they’re really useful for web development because they take up a lot less space. Who knew?

After that, the official place to download the theme maker is here:

@waj171 I was? afraid someone might say that. My site went down recently. Search around the web for PNG for PTF, and the PSP Theme Maker. You’ll find it eventually — the real tricky bit was understanding how to work it.
Software? Link is broken

@v3nom1214 I know… I don’t even understand how they sucked so much. The whole point of a tutorial is to make complex/poor documentation better or easier to understand. Part of what greases the learning process is humor. So I’m glad so many people are? enjoying it.
