If you want to make ALL white pixels transparent, it would be easier to use imagemagick convert <inputfilename> -transparent <color> <outputfilename> <color> can be specified by name (white) or rgb values. cf. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php And since the file is created in pbrush, there's a slight possibility the file didn't support transparency to start with. You can set the outputfilename to foo.png and let convert change to format also...
