PNG has a lot of overhead, and are much larger than the equivalent Gif. Makes for a slow loading web page if you don't need them.

PNG is an option for transparent backgrounds as well. I wouldn't recommend it but it's available.

Why not? Thats what I use now for all my cafepress designs (that go on dark objects) and you get
the full color range.

Any tips





This tutorial seems to be for a later version of Elements, but it might
work:

The jpg format doesn't support transparency so, if the image is needed
for the web, it will have to be saved in gif format and that will limit
the image to 256 colours.
