Why does the imported graphics for battles have white background?

First, sorry for the long title. But I think it explained much of what I am asking for.

I imported a battler graphic in RMXP, but when I try to test play the graphic of the battler, it looks good, with just 1 big problem, it has a squarely white background around it. Why is that? How can I import graphics that doesn't shows that? :S

You have to select the transparent colour. When you import the image a window comes up showing your image and you have to left click on the colour you want to be transparent.

If you've got something like photoshop, edit out the white stuff, so it shows those grey & white squares, they mean that there's gonna be no background when you import to rpg maker.

No, at the moment I use GraphicsGale, but mostly just because of the incredible nice zoom system, anyway. It's fine too. But at least I know that (<-- bolded text), if I ever get Photoshop.
