It would help if you could tell us what graphics software you are using but I hope the following helps.

 

For GIMP then, assuming your layered template is OK then it's EDIT> COPY VISIBLE then open up a new file FILE>NEW (which should automatically be to the same size) EDIT>PASTE, LAYER>ANCHOR LAYER and then LAYER>REMOVE ALPHA CHANNEL (only if, like me, you use transparency as default) and then finally FILE>SAVE AS XXXXXXXXXXXX.BMP
