I would appreciate it if Andy or any of the other experts here could post the default "PROOF" watermark just by itself so I can see what it looks like and what I need to do to make my own custom watermark. I only have photoshop elements, but I have access to things like Turbocad that can produce custom JPG's as well. Thanks.

    There's a tutorial on how to make one here:

    I just made a new one the other day. I created a blank layer, added some text and made sure that it was a very light gray. Then I saved is a .PNG and uploaded it to a private gallery and followed the rest of the smugmug instructions. It worked perfectly.

    Take a look at the tutorial, it may answer your question.

    I used GIMP to create mine. Its a free graphics program to use and supports layering.

    Thanks for the info. It turns out that it is possible to generate watermarks with photoshop elements, just some differences and limitations vs. the full-blown PS. Part of the trick is to save as a *.png file instead of a *.jpg. Then, you can actually have the all-important transparent background.
