I've had issues making transparent images using PNG and having them show correctly on a PC using IE. And now I'm having issues with trans gifs. Could somebody share what settings they use when exporting them out of Photoshop that works the best to view via IE and other browsers?

Many Thanks!

shouldn't have any issues with gifs being transparent in anything - what's the issue? Any examples of the problem?

Just getting my settings down via Pshop. Visually the gifs look good, it's the PNG files. Sorry for the confusion.
I was just wondering if anybody had a setting they preferred over another one.

Thanks!

I use PNG's whilst I'm developing a website (because GIFs require a decided background colour to alias correctly), but they don't work in all browsers, so once I've got the colour spot on I convert them to GIFs.

I struggle to tell the difference.

personally i should allways use PNG files, but be warned for IE 6 and such u need to include a PNG fix, else your transparant parts get gray!
