if you're talking about watermarking then IE's png support isn't relevant.. the watermark will be applied to your image (jpg, presumably) on the server side and a new image (jpg) is sent to the browser.. if the graphics toolkit used to apply the watermark handles the png correctly then you're ok.
(oh, i guess there is the watermark admin screen where it shows the watermark image by itself... i suppose you could apply this technique there)

This would be good people who want to have a semi transparent background for specific Gallery divs like the title or the sidebar. Mindless is right though it wouldn't help with the watermark module though. Oh what a pain IE can be at times.

oh, stupid me... when i uploaded png24 watermark and saw that it doesn't look good (by itself) in IE, i didn't even try to apply it to any images assuming that it will look bad too. i was wrong.
well, then the only thing about watermarking i am looking for would be some global switch - "watermark all images automoatically upon upload".
Is something like this doable?
