How do I create borderless Pure Images?

Convert image sticky notes to Pure Images to remove the sticky note border and show only the image itself.

Pure Images are image sticky notes without the sticky note styling. Use them to add icons, background images, and other borderless pictures to your Storm. 

Transparent PNG image types are also now supported when Pure Image mode is toggled on. This means that images such as icons or emojis can be added without the distraction of a solid background or sticky note border.
