Trouble with Transparency on items and pictures

[puubutt]

So is there a way to keep transparency when converting images to 256 color form? I've especially been trying to make a lantern effect but it takes the gradient away. I've been trying to make lots of transparent items as well but it also takes the transparency away. Does the 2k3 version not allow it?

You always can cut the image to a few images contains only 1 transparent variant and show this in a few pictures with various transparent value.
