You need Martian Wrights program, DXTbmp, with the dlls to make it work.

get it here:

Just save the alpha then resize the main bmp and the alpha. then open the main bmp and import the alpha
and save as what ever you like. Make sure you uncheck the MM option.

DxtBMP is a must have for any type of bitmap editing. It can be a bit repetitive, saving over and over, but it's the best way.
