this is a very good tutorial. you should also add a simple typed tutorial under your video link with screenshots. maybe people learn better with one method better than the other. also, the way you center crosshairs can be easier by making a 1 pxl dot and then pressing ctrl+a (to select all) ctrl+x (to cut) and ctrl+v (to paste). use a 1 pxl dot for a resolution that is even (like 50x50) and use a 2x2 pxl dot for a resolution that is odd (like 49x49)

Quoted for truth; the brain is divided by two sides. One side being visual, and
the other being mental. Or something like that. You're either a visual learner,
meaning you learn by seeing, or mental, you learn by doing. Err... or
something like that.

Anyways Zim, your method doesn't really work all the time. Sometimes when I
copy and paste something it is NEVER in the exact middle. >.<

Last time it ended up randomly on the left side of the image. >_>

Anyways your method DOES work. But my method for myself is much quicker,
seeing as I'm the ninja line placer. I place lines quicker than you can say...
look I've already placed two lines!

lol maybe the reason your dot doesnt end up directly in the center is because there might be a hidden dot that you dont notice...i use a black background when i work on crosshairs and sometimes i accidentaly make black dots. sometimes i dont see that black dot and it messes up the whole centering process. MAYBE THATS WHATS GOING ON WITH YOU
