By increasing the smoothness radius, you can remove more pixels from the edges and make PNG clearer. This option makes the pixels on the border between transparency and opacity semi-transparent. If you remove the color and the edges of the image still have a pixel or two of the old color, you can refine the edges and smooth them by enabling the "Smooth Edges" checkbox.
