The reason I mention 24 bit PNGs is because they support 16bit color and 8 bit alpha masking.

16+8=24

Welcome to real life, where BMP is able to save in 24bit color and GIF can only save to 8bit.

The dunce caps in the corner are free, but I'm afraid it's a BYOB party.

ON the 8 bit standards though, I though 24bit cant have since 8 bits are for each Color (Red, Green, Blue) and an additional 8 bits for alpha which would make it 32 bit, am I correct or am I missing something?

Varying bit-depths are not static, they're logarithmic. Each color (RGB) doesn't occupy entire an octet, they occupy a entry in the bit set.

Bit....07..06..05..04 03..02..01..00
Data...R....R...R...G...G...G....B...B

Why would you use Giffy to save a GIF when you can use IrfanView to save a PNG? If you can afford it, I prefer Fireworks, but Photoshop works aswell.
