I have come across few problems while creating transparent images through Photoshop.
If I use the PNG-8 format with transparency - some images are not clear and blurry.
Whereas if I use PNG-24 format, it works well in firefox and other browser but not in Internet Explorer.
The background automatically changes to some light blue color.

Is there any work around for this?

Not a clue, maybe a photoshop user can help? I have always used GIMP and never had any issues with transparency

If its transparent it will take the color that is behind it.

also sometimes you can't get everything to work in all browsers so that may be part of it

The problem you are experiencing is very common, I'm not sure if that makes you feel any better or not! I assume you are using Internet Explorer 6? As This browser being from about 1953, doesn't know what to do with transparent png's (there are hacks, but it's a pain in the backside!) bang head.

This won't be a problem in Internet Explorer 7 and onwards.

If you aren't using IE6 then I am clearly balls, but I think that should be the reason... Let me know either way!

I think many people/developer/designers face a problem while working on transparent .png images and the Internet Explorer 6. The IE6 do not recognize the .png images and treat them somewhat similar to non-transparent images.

For this there is pngfix code available on the internet. Its a Javascript code that solves the problem of .png images for IE6. Its a free code available on the internet and can be found easily. The site from where you download the pngfix.js code also gives the instruction of about how to use it.

That's generally the best way to fix it, assuming your PC won't run IEvil 7 or beyond.

My general recommendation is to switch to FireFox anyways. I once ran it on a Compaq mini-tower running Windows 98...first edition...and it ran better than the native IEvil version (which was, if I remember correction, one of the original installations of the IE5 series with Active Desktop functionality).

I ran into that problem when I was working on a php script that outputs an images with a word on it and a transparent background, but the background would always be gray in IE6. Eventually I gave up trying to fix it, since it at least works fine in IE7.

The majority of the world still unfortunately uses IE6. You can fix it, search for IE6 png transparency and you'll probably find a few thousand pages telling you how to fix it. It's hackneyed and I think it slows down the browser, though.
