Why are you not using Fireworks? Photoshop is also good for web stuff but type rendering and image exporting is far better in Fireworks.
Go ahead and export and image from Photoshop and Fireworks usign exactly the same settings and see the difference. Fireworks = crisper image yet lower file size. One of the presenters at the Adobe conference showed me this and he couldn't explain it.
A lot more web functionality in Fireworks aswell. Things like quick prototyping and HTML text rendering.
Which begs the question, why are you rendering your type as an image? That's if it's body text...
If you're after a specific font for your headers which isn't a web standard, you can do a clever thing where you program it to export a PNG on the fly, yet the text still exists in your HTML, so it's still SEO friendly. Example here: http://sports.yahoo.com/ (view source)
The text here is Gotham, which isn't a web standard but it's rendered quite well (apart from shitty kerning).
