You can ignore that part of the Photoshop interface... although this *can*

have an effect on the file, it's rarely a critical effect.


Most programs handle interlacing/filter choices for you, and let you choose

the color depth, but hey, you know how people gush about that Adobe

interface.... ;-)


(Caveat: While you *can* use alpha PNG in Flash, please be advised that the

filesize is usually perceptibly greater than 8-bit PNG... still potentially

useful, but would be worthwhile to check its practicality in any particular

project.)
