battle charset

hi, I'm having trouble with battle charsets. I'm using photoshop and after I get everything the way I want it to look, rm2k3 doesnt read the file at all. Any ideas why this is happening? I kept the color mode the same as the battle charsets that are included with the program, I can't see what the problem may be. below is one of the edited files, which I'm not done with yet. It's not that great, so even if someone had something similar to my character it would be greatly appreciated. He needs to have long black hair and a long goatee, and preferably black clothing. Thanks.
