ok, well i have searched and all the other topics seem a bit vague, so i made a new one. well i have been trying to create my own crosshairs using photoshop cs4. to make them i create a layer and set the opacity to 0%. i then make a new layer. onto this i put the design and remove and white areas etc. using the magic wand tool and deleting to show the background with the design left. i then save it as a psd. and not tga, or pcx. as i had problems with them before. i then use pconverter to convert to tga. and also resize to 16x16 pixels, however the crosshair looks badly pixeleted (sry i cant spell), is it something i am doing wrong with the process or should i try using a different converter? or save straight from photoshop?. thanks

Why don't you just create a transparent layer and do the artwork there? Then you don't need to remove any white areas etc :)
And save it straight from PS as .tga, i don't know why would you use converter.

to get rid of the white square you gotta make sure that the backround in which ur ch is on is a transparent backround. best program for crosshairs is gimp.
