Changing .dds files

Hi guys,

I'm trying to change the colour of the crosslines for both persicopes and TBT.
Because at night you can not align the horizontal crossline at the waterline of a ship because it's black, and so is the sea and so is the ship's hull...
I started with the TBT.
I have got some experience with photoshop and i've read that you can open .dds-files with photoshop (if you download and install some plug-in for Photoshop, which i did).
So i changed the color of the crossline from black to pink-red (same color as the night filter).

In the game i can see the difference, but the "glass" of the TBT is black now instead of transparent.
What should i do to keep it transparent?
I got this pop-upscreen when i saved this file, there were a whole lot of option fields which i could check or uncheck. (about mip-maps and stuff like that)
Probably this had something to do with it? :hmm:

Thanks,
fvd
