I've uploaded png images to a website, and they appear perfect in firefox, chrome and safari but they look horrible in ie. I have saved the files from photoshop, and they have a feature under image size that gives you the option to have the image as: bicubic automatic, bicubic sharper, bicubic smoother, bicubic, bilinear and nearest neighbor. Would any of these help?

</ul>
css:
img.icon {
vertical-align: middle;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-left: 2px;
image-rendering:optimizeSpeed; /* Legal fallback */
image-rendering:-moz-crisp-edges; /* Firefox */
image-rendering:-o-crisp-edges; /* Opera */
image-rendering:-webkit-optimize-contrast; /* Safari */
}
The old IE method is:
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
This is poorly documented.
