I love working with PNG’s because they offer true alpha transparency, with the downsides being that IE6 doesnt support alpha transparency and their file size can be not so great compared to a .jpg image. Sometimes you will see a difference of up to 100k between a .jpg and a .png. I have seen websites that use optimized .png images and have always wondered how they keep them so small.
