After working with transparency and translucency some it has become very clear that PNG is the way to go. But how to fine tune it or which format is the best?

When you export from Fireworks you have the options for PNG8, PNG24, or PNG32.

• Which versions work in which browsers?


• Which looks the best?


• What are the differences between the formats?


• How do you optimize the images for size and quality?

As I learn answers to these questions and have new questions the information will be posted in this thread.
