My gunsight is not transparent

[coyo]

Hi guys, I tried to make a new gunsight in Photoshop. I covnerted the default sight to RGB mode then when I was finished I coverted it back to Indexed color mode; however, in the game, the magenta color is not transparent. I can't figure out why this is happening. the magenta is 255 0 255 just like the deafult sight.

Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

is indexed color the same as 256 color or 8 bit?


thats what they need to be.

does it have an alpha channel?

is the alpha 256 grayscale?
