You would need to use photoshop or gimp to crop out your desired image onto a transparent background.

You need to make an alpha channel and erase all of the unwanted areas, then in the material editor check off "alpha" and find your file again and it should work fine. On a side note, you know you can always ask us questions in the Skype chat Sad
