I think you would do better

I think you would do better by using PNG-8 with alpha transparency for modern browsers, and binary transparency (like GIF) for IE 6 and earlier:

Sadly, Photoshop does not support this natively. Does anyone know of a plug-in?

That's true: they look good!

The corners are actually ok

The corners are actually ok jeevesbond unless you look very closely.

Please let me know what you think.

Hmmm, that'll work, but

Hmmm, that'll work, but they'll have jagged edges. You really need alpha-transparency to get really nice rounded corners.

Thanks for your input

Thanks for your input jeevesbond but I did solve the problem using gif images.

It doesn't really matter

It doesn't really matter what image editor you're using, the problem here is what Web browsers (or one browser, in particular) can support. The only way you'll get this to work is with a PNG image with a transparent background. Only problem is: Internet Explorer 6 doesn't support this. Most Web designers just put up with it and make the image match the background colour.

There are two other options: there's a complicated hack for Internet Explorer 6 to make it display transparent PNGs properly, or you could take a chance and ignore IE6 altogether.
