indexed png .. how to edit?

I had no trouble working with gradient black to transparent images using fireworks but when I was working with images white to transparent it didn't not work.  It would solidify the transparent whites. ugly.

There is a solution here alpha-transparency-in-indexed-png-images

But here's my work around using both fireworks and photoshop.

1. Open the image in fireworks.  Do your editing.
2. When done save the image as fireworks png.

3. Open your image in ps.
4. Save your image with "save for web and devices" choose png-24.

It'll increase your file size a bit more than the original for me it was less than double but still under 10kb.  I will test more with png-8
