I'm guessing the software you used to scale it down doesn't support transparencies. As for editing you need software like photoshop to do what you say you want to. Something about Red Faction needs to have a reticle inside a solid color I think, so it may not be the transparencies thing.
People use full colours to make getting the reticle that much smoother looking easier by just using the transparency.
But yes the reason you just see a big box is becuase there is no transparency in the tga that you put in the VPP.
