I'm assuming you put the crosshair on a seperate layer that has transparency.

- Double-click the "background" layer if there is one.
- Click ok.
- Delete the layer titled "layer 0".
- Trim the crosshair if needed.
- Click the "save for web" file option by going through File > Save for Web.
- Change the file type to png-8 or png-24...make sure transparency is enabled!
- Save with those options...duh!

The easiest way, if you want to have a red shape, is to ctrl-click on the layer containing the crosshair, create a new layer, fill the new layer with red, and click the eye next to the crosshair layer to make it invisible. Just a tip, though, if you don't want a nub-looking crosshair, leave the crosshair visible but make it so the red layer is above the crosshair, and lower the opacity of the red layer to somewhere around 50%.

Below the reply box here click "Go Advanced" to get formatting options and such. There should be an icon that looks like a little photo or painting...click it, and you should be presented with a URL input box. You put the URL of the crosshair here. It has to be hosted on something like Photobucket before you can put a URL in, of course
