Do you need the final file to be in PNG-8 format with embedded variable levels of transparency? If yes, Photoshop does not support PNG-8 with multiple levels of transparency, as I understand. It only allows for one encoded color table value to be fully transparent.

If you are simulating limited total colors with multiple levels, I am pretty sure that can be done PNG-24, yet I did not want to go down that path if you need PNG-8 format.

Other software does support PNG-8 with multiple levels of transparency. ImageMagick is one such program.

Let me know what path you plan to take.
