Creating an image for UITabBarController tab - iPhone Dev

Question

Im trying to create a PNG file (thats what I assume the file extension should be) to create an icon for the tab controller. Here is a picture of what I mean..

I tried creating it in Photoshop, saving it as PNG, clearing the background, trying interlaced versions but all I get are big blobs and blocks when I try to import it in the app.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
