It's kind of a pain to save transparent layers in images when you're a programmer by trade and just want a few placeholder images. On the Mac, Paintbrush'll do it, but you've got to watch a YouTube video with the craziest background noise and grossest random colors ever to learn how. You'd think there'd be an easier way on Windows, but for png, there's kinda not. Paint.NET is a common suggestion, and a good one. But wouldn't it be nice if IrfanView made it easy for you? It doesn't. At least not with pngs. But with gifs? Child's play, as explained on this webpage from 2004:
