To make the background transperant, im pretty sure that is something you do in the picture editing program (photoshop, gimp).

Oh and when converting, remember to use UnlitGeneric for the vmf file (assuming you know how to convert the spray).
Please do not add me on Steam because you have in-game problems. Make a thread in the correct board on the forum and i will respond to that whenever i have time.

Just make it into a vtf and import it, also it would be best to scale the image to around 256x256.

Go into tools, selections, then select the fuzzy select tool. Then press on the backround to have it selected. Then press delete, scale, and export. Profit.

Also this works best with white backrounds...

You have to make it so that the thing you want the spray to be is on another layer, and I believe you can just erase around it (you could do this easily in a minute, but it'd probably take longer for all the fine details(IMO it's easy as hell)) and if there's white and grey checkered squares instead of white, that should work (it works for me on Paint.NET).

Well, I could make a tutorial video if anyone is having trouble with this.
