Saving as PNG

To save an image as a PNG in Photoshop, simply select PNG-8 or PNG-24 from the file format pop-up menu in the Save for Web dialog box. In ImageReady, select PNG-8 or PNG-24 in the Optimize panel. Creating a PNG-8 is essentially the same as making a GIF, and the same optimization tools and guidelines apply. 24-bit PNGs may be interlaced or contain transparency, but there are no settings for optimization.
