This is because you're drawing the image incorrectly for your purposes. If you:

[[theImage TIFFRepresentation] writeToFile: [@"~/Desktop/halla.tiff"
stringByExpandingTildeInPath] atomically: YES];

That'll write the image to your desktop. Open it in Preview or
something, and you'll see that the background is, in fact,
transparent. What you want to do instead is use a different
compositing operation when you draw the image. NSCompositeSourceOver
is most likely what you want:

[theImage drawAtPoint: NSZeroPoint fromRect: NSZeroRect operation:
NSCompositeSourceOver fraction: 1.0];
