On: PNG that works

[ladon86]

The point about Photoshop not supporting paletted transparent PNGs was new to me. I only use Photoshop, so I actually believed that alpha channels were only available for 24-bit PNGs.

I wonder if Photoshop has planned future support for paletted, 8-bit alpha channel PNGs?

Photoshop's PNG support hasn't changed for years, so don't hold your breath.

Fireworks supports 8bit+a. I'm also working on modernised pngquant, which might give higher-quality results than Fireworks:

I wouldn't expect it too much. Photoshop also had a generally dreadful support for PNG (it would compress them very, very badly, sometimes to twice or thrice the size needed) before ~CS3.
