6. Press "R" twice
7. Set backroung color to bright white or other color that weapon does not have.
8. Align the ironsight
9. Take screenshot
10. Open it through GIMP (If you don't have it - Download it)
11. Add alpha channel.
12. Cut out white background
13. Make sure all letters, numbers and cursor are cut out too.
14. Add your little aiming thingy.
15. Create new file (800x600 with alpha channel)
16. Paint center of the screen in 4 pixels. Center of the screen is 400,300 ; 400,301 ; 401,300 ; 401,301
17. Copy your ironsight to new file and align it with red dot. Your aiming thingy should cover only 2 pixels of it.
18. Then delete rest of the red blocks
19. Cut out the aiming thingy area and add it as a new layer.
20. Switch to other layer and add blur to it through: Tools>GEGL>Box-blur (2-1 is fine)
21. Press right click on the aiming thingy layer and select "Merge down"
22. Then use color picker tool to get color and paint small spaces that bluring created.
23. If you are happy with it click save or save as.
24. Save it as "Filename.png"
25. Enjoy ;D


But now... I have found a way to do this in under 5 minutes.(Not for some sights :P)

One suggestion: Instead of using fuzzy select, you use the color select tool.
