Doing a tag team with MrTom.

Importing PNGs with indexed transparency into CS5 does not work well. It is fine in CS6 and CC.
Here is a link that describes the issue: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/opening_transparent_png_loses_transparency
I see exactly the same thing as Photographer when I use CS5 yet it is fine in CS6 and CC

An easy workaround is the read the PNG into a reader that does not have this issue and just ressave the PNG to the correct format.
In my case I just opened up the PNG in Preview on my Mac and exported as PNG. Then it read in just fine in CS5

Note that you can create the same issue when using Save for Web if you save as PNG-8 with transparency and use a black matte yet I don't think that was your issue.

You just need a compatible reader, re-save to the correct format and you are good to go even with CS5. Hope this helps
