GIF is often disabled if there are layers in the image that haven't been
flattened, or if the image mode is RGB rather than Indexed.

Even though the PNG image format supports transparency, I wouldn't use
it if you are putting your images on the web because most browsers don't
use the PNG transparency information. The latest Mozilla release (M12)
does, but Netscape and MSIE 4.0 don't. Not sure about MSIE 5.0.
