I had a similar problem. Here's what you do.Have your sprites saved as a PNG. Open it in Gimp. You can either leave a background color and select it out later in RPG maker, or just have it transparent. Hard edge eraser and select by color work well at removing the background, so long as select by color is at its most specific.Anyway. Actually saving. Click IMAGE > MODE > INDEXED. Have it set to Generate Optimum Palette, have the number 256 (though it defaults to 255 for me sometimes and I think that might be fine too). Then save and bam.Any edits you want to make, just do it in paint or with the image set back to RGB, then save it again as indexed once you're done.That should help.
