I hope I'm not bending/breaking the purpose of the list but wanted opinions on best practices for preparing images for use on web pages where there are color backgrounds, and the image must have some of that background color in them.

Example: you want to place an image with a drop shadow, so in photoshop, you prepare your image with drop shadow, both of them in layers above the same background color as on the page. When you place such an image, flattened and jpg'd, it looks seamless.

Trouble comes when you want to change the background color on the page (s) where you've already prepped the images with a given color..then you have to change that, too, and re-jpg, re-place, etc..

Some images don't look right unless their lifted off the page with a drop shadow, IMHO...
