In SFC 3 at least you can use a *.tga image with alpha channels. The dark part of the alpha channel is trans parent and the white part makes the textures opaque. Greys in the Alpha Channels make transulcent texturing.

Here is a link to a great program to use, it works of of *.bmp files:

It is from the bcfiles.com site.  I think that SFC3 is the only one of the three that allows *.tga files.

Good luck with it,
