Hi,

 

Would you tell me what the difference between PNG-8 and PNG-24 is?

PNG 8 uses palette-based quantization similar to e.g. a GIF, PNG applies the full available bit depth to each channel, which is in particular relevant for retaining complex semi-transparencies that require more "steps" to look smooth.
