The [http://entropymine.com/jason/tweakpng/ first thing you want to do is download TweakPNG from here],

You then want to copy the .dmi and make it a .png.

Open the .png file in a photo editing software like GImp or Paint.NET.

Make any edits you want.

[[File:Spriting3.png|frame|none|Perfect.]]

Save/Export the file. Along with opening TweakPNG.

Rename the .png to something new and make it a .dmi.

You can then drag your .dmi file into TweakPNG.

Copy the chunk named "zTXt".

Drag on the new .dmi and copy the "zTXt" chunk over and make sure it's anywhere under the "tRNS" chunk.
