Hopefully english isn't your first language.

Regardless, if you want a 32 bit image that has an 8 bit red, green, blue, and alpha channel (8x4=32) then I'd recommend the PNG format.

You can edit them in Photoshop or even Gimp which I believe is free. Read those links.

Just use libpng. Hopefully you won't have the problems that I had with it. Goodluck, libpng does come with examples and a google search on libpng will provide more.
