Put the Bit Depth on Auto-detect

Also, when you open a new image, select the background with the Magic Wand or by pressing Ctrl and A, then hit the Delete key, now your image is transparent, then just save it as a .png

It can be done both ways. Jesus christ you guys are so determined to be right.

Since Arc isn't too bright, just press... oh, I dunno, "OK"?
