How to Save a PNG Graphic

Keeping up with the latest Photoshop and Web trends and standards is challenging. One of the emerging standards is the PNG graphic file format. PNG was developed as an alternative to the copyrighted GIF file format.   As GIFs, PNG files support several different color bit-depths. Moreover, the PNG compression scheme is just as aggressive as GIF compression. Therefore, you can save high-color images at small file sizes. In addition, you can choose to set the PNG file to load progressively in a Web browser.

To save an image in the PNG file format, choose File, Save For Web. Next, choose PNG-8 or PNG-24 from the File Format list box. Then, click OK, and name and save the file.
