# if
the image you're working with has a transparent background (ie it is a gif or png, and you've set it up right) then it should do it automatically

# Maybe
just save your bitmap as a transparent png or gif in an image editor and then import?

# that'll learn me

# PNG transparency
isn't supported as well as it should be, it's all a conspiracy to make us keep using shitty-looking GIFs.

# whatever package you use to save the image
has to write a gif/png with a transparent background. in photoshop, this means turning off the "background" layer, and saving for web as one of the above. i'm not sure about other programs, and i can't promise that this is the best way to do it. it's the only way that i know of, though
