Actually, 8-bit PNGs are limited to using 256 colors in total (perhaps with another 256 degrees of transparency, but I'm not sure about this).DHeadshot wrote:When people describe PNG as 8-bit, they mean 8 bits per channel. There are 3 channels, so PNG is 24-bit anyway (it's just compressed). Same with JPEG and TIF (theough TIFF is 16 bits per channel and is used in photography). GIF is 8 bits overall and see how low-quality that is!
