I need help fixing a vtf https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9afvyha2udhajk/bigcross.vtf?dl=0
as u can see in the lower right hand quadrant theres a weird blob which isn't that noticeable in game but it still annoys me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nje8vwq9vy9a87c/bigcrossbtoke.vtf?dl=0 my attempt to fix it has not gone well.

Exported the TGA in VTFEdit
Opened up in Photoshop and removed the spot
Saved as TGA again
Imported back to VTFEdit and saved as VTF

I'm not familiar with other programs, but just make sure the spot is not visible in the alpha channel.

if you do this often I recommend installing a VTF plug-in for the editing software you prefer. paint.net is what I use but there's also a VTF plug-in for photoshop and gimp. It makes viewing/editing/making crosshairs a lot easier by removing the need to convert through VTFEdit before editing. Also allow you to save images as VTFs directly

If you try to save an image as VTF a window will pop up. Instructions in imgur album

Some more tips:
if you replace a VTF crosshair with another you can reload directly with "mat_reloadmaterial thumbnails" in console. Combined with VTF plug-ins this allows you to preview any changes you make to a crosshair immediately in TF2

If you make changes to VMTs or weapon text files you'll have to restart TF2 afaik
