I use Paint Shop Pro 9. When drawing your images make sure that when you create the image that the background colour is transparent. I then just save as PNG.
In BlitzMax, you load the images as normal (the default flags are fine) and when displaying them, make sure that alphablend is enabled...
I generally set ALPHABLEND once just before the main loop and leave it.
