1) Converted the original images from JPEG into PNG. (JPEG seems not to support alpha channels).

JPEG/JFIF doesn't, but JPEG/JNG does (e.g., see libmng). It's not widely supported, though.

However, for what you're doing--multistage image editing--you want PNG or some other lossless format anyway. Switch back to JPEG only at the very end.
