For those who like to read here's some more detail. I used fireworks from adobe.com for this. It cost quite a bit. But it can do alot more also.
Creating png files from a main image
To process each item it usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the difficulty of the shape.
If you want your pictures processed for you check hire editor when viewing the images. Add your main image and data and click upload. When your done uploading all your images open the shopping cart. There the editing fees are all totaled and you can pay for the editing fees.
What do I need to do make my own png images?
The first thing you need is a main image that is about double the size of the item and good quality.
The items in the image must be layed flat and placed as you want it to appear on the canvas.
