PNG files - none or interlaced?

where you might see a difference is once you bring the images into FC, under "field dominance" you have "upper", "lower", and "none". "none" usually helps get rid of flickering.

so I would choose "none" in photoshop too.

There's so much wrong here I'm getting a headache. DV is interlaced, lower field dominant.

The interlace option for PNG's has nothing to do with the interlace system on televisions. PNG's were a graphic meant to replace lossy GIF images with a better system and lower filesize.

Interlacing in this instance means the passes required by a web browser to make for rendering the image.

PNG uses a sophisticated scheme which begins rendering the image after only 1/64 of the data has arrived in web browsers. PNG's 7 pass scheme fills in increasing amounts of detail both horizontally and vertically. Interlacing increases the file size. You may find that with PNG's better compression fewer images will need interlacing...again for the web!

Don't convert from PSD to PNG, just use the PSD!!

If you don't need the layers, flattening is preferred.

Thanks very much - this was the kind of help and info I was looking for -

Fortunately for us, you don't get to choose what kind of help you receive. We see lots of bad advice around here; myths perpetuated, errors compounded, typos worshipped. Wait till you see the responses you are going to get to your sonn-to-be-posted inquiry about scanning resolution for stills to be used in video.

Another thing about psd layers, layer effects or styles will not come across unless they are flattened. I hate Photoshop.
