Summary

I'm having trouble getting the background of a custom face graphic to be transparent. I've tried using multiple image editors, making sure to set the white background to transparent. It shows up fine in the editor, but when I set it to an actor the background is again visible. The color I'm trying to designate as transparent is white, and the editors I've used are GIMP 3 and GraphicsGale, as they were both around from projects before RPG Maker. I haven't really been able to find any posts about this...

The color I'm trying to designate as transparent is white, and the editors I've used are GIMP 3 and GraphicsGale, as they were both around from projects before RPG Maker. I haven't really been able to find any posts about this problem, so I feel like I may be doing something wrong. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

This one is from before I discovered "opacity threshold". This may be where my issue is

And this one is after that discovery. The difference being, the previous image has transparency applied to the entire layer while the latter only seems to affect the background color.
