Watermark using Photoshop CS4

Watermark creation in Photoshop CS4

I had at one time been able to create a Watermark using Photoshop, uploaded the JPG file to SmugMug and then successfully shown on my images. However, I also deleted this image and now can't re-create it in Photoshop…. and I have also followed the SmugMug tutorial as well.


I have made two versions;
1) A PNG file by saved to Web and Devices. When I click of Open (within Photoshop) I can see the file. However, I can't see it using View NX2 or Windows Explorer and when I try to upload via SmugMug I also can't see this PNG file?
2) A JPG file, which when saved turns the background to white. I can upload this JPG file to SmugMug. However, when it shows as a Watermark, the white background also shows… ?


Q:#1- So how do I create a PNG and JPG file with my Watermark and the wording being semi-transparent and no background being white?


Any help, would be great,

Hello,

Took me a week and many hours to figure out that I needed to "Save As An Object" my watermark which was created in Photoshop CS4.

Here's how I do it: Place the watermark on a layer above the image, then save this as a jpeg. (Save the watermark layer alone as a PNG file to apply to other images.)
