Odd graphics issue - does anyone know why this is happening?

Hey. I'm trying to mod in a new creature, and it's... mostly working, except for some reason the graphics I made for it have a black box around the actual sprite? Like, the entire 32x32 tile is being displayed, with the transparent parts appearing as black. Does anyone know why, or how I might fix it?

Sounds like when you're exporting from whatever program you're using, the alpha layer is getting messed up.

Are you exporting an indexed PNG ? You must export it as RGB.

I'm not sure - that may have been the case. I did get it sorted; Miclee was right, it was a quirk of the program I was using and how it saves PNGs. I tried editing and exporting it with a different program, and it worked. I forgot to say so.

If anyone reading this uses paint.net, don't use it to make DF sprites!
