That's it. Now, you might see that if there was any pure white on the monster itself, like on their eyes, they'll now be transparent. You'll need to paint them on white, using the pencil tool with a one pixel brush and the colour white. Then save again.
 
You can change the background to clear before you change the scale or send it to someone to change it. The order doesn't matter.
