I wanted to add a couple of random thoughts to this post in hopes it will help users avoid these pitfalls.
1. Once you upload an image to the awards panel you won't be able to get it back, so keep the original image on your computer if you intend to ever use it again.
2. The first awards I created for a sub were all wrong. The images and names were relevant and interesting, but when I went to award a post they didn't make sense. It may be best to think of awards as a statement you're making about the post. Now I'm trying to create awards in this vein, because the ones I started out with weren't being used.
3. If you are on a Macintosh, the Preview program is incredibly powerful and helpful in creating and manipulating images. It's not as powerful as photoshop, but it can do quite a bit. If you have questions, let me know.
4. I use LunaPic for making images transparent[1] because it's free and easy. You can do a lot with it besides making an image transparent.
