Help! White dots appear in my images while fading in Internet Explorer.

There is a bug in Internet Explorer where it takes true-black colours in JPG images and renders them to be transparent and thus shows the background colour behind it when fading the image (in our case white). The dots disappear when the fading is complete.

The workaround is to go into Photoshop and adjust the levels to remove the true black areas from the image – Image -> Adjustments -> Levels and slide the true black slider 1 or 2 pixels to the right. Save your image again and the jpg artifacts should be gone
