I would do it with a photo editor. Change the pink pixels to transparent ones or delete them easily.
You could use Paint.NET or Gimp.

Important is that you use an image-format like *.png, that allows transparent pixels.
Do not use *.jpg as example.

If you are allergic to gif or png images, you could load the data with love.image.newImageData, and then set the pink pixel's (xFF00FF == {255,0,255}) to an alpha of zero.

In all honesty, using GIMP is the way to go.
