  • Draw your crosshairs in the "your crosshairs" layer staying within the guides (Image -> View or Ctrl+; to turn on guides). Make sure you paint your crosshairs in pure white (RGB 255 255 255). Now generate an alpha channel from that layer. You can do this by selecting Image -> Calculations using the following settings:
  • Disable the background layer before exporting to TGA, I only leave it there as a visual aid (it's hard to see objects against a transparent background). When exporting to TGA ensure that the Alpha Channels check box is ticked and that you save as a 32 bits/pixel file. Name the file crosshairs.tga
  • When Importing into C4 ensure that the Alpha Channel drop box is set to Transparency.
