Right, you need to Save for web and select .PNG 24 and then select transparency. Save it and job done. (If this is what you're after)

wow thanks for the quick reply ..... Nearly but not completely! there's still the white background showing when I insert it as a watermark all i want is the grey camera and the writing :|
 
Right, what you need to do is remove the white in the image. You should see checkers wherever you are expecting it to be see through

Hmm, well if the camera is part of the background, do you have the original file where it isn't? (Also not to be a pain, but if the image is someone else's image have you gotten permission to use it?)

If you dont have a file where its separated you will need to select and erase the white from the grey camera. I wouldn't mind doing it for you, probably be easier if you want to upload the file to dropbox or something?
 
Not a problem. If you use lightroom, its pretty easy to sort watermarks. (Have a search on google/youtube for some guides!)

If you don't have lightroom and only photoshop/camera raw (Im not sure if camera raw has a watermark option, but you may be able to find some tutorials or even some actions for photoshop watermarks. I may be wrong though.
 
A ONE CLIK SOLUTION.

OK.
(1)
Open in PS, crop to 1000 pixels width and 300 pixels height.

Now go to edit - Define Brush Preset.

In the pop up box type in a name for the logo (MY LOGO). Hit OK.

A new brush has been created, it will be the last one in the list.
Your brush is now ready to use, it can be used like any brush, one click at 100% opacity (lower opacity will make it fainter) will apply it at whatever size and colour you have set.

I mainly apply it on a new layer as this gives even more flexibility.

(2)
This process can be used for your typed signature as follows.
Open a new white document 1000X500 pixels at 240 ppi.
With the type tool at say 36pt in whatever font and style you like, the colour set to white, type your signature. (You won’t see it, its white on white.)
Click the move tool.
Click on the “fx” icon at the bottom of the layers pallet. Click stroke. Set it to Size-3px, Position-outside, Blend-normal, Opacity-100%, Fill-Type-Colour, Colour-Black…..OK.
Now you can see it, move it to the centre, go to edit-transform-scale and with a finger on the shift key stretch it to fill the width of the document….OK.
Drag the background layer into the bin.
Now drop the fill slider to zero.
Now go to edit-define brush preset and in the pop up name it OK.
Your brush is now ready to use, it can be used like any brush, one click at 100% opacity (lower opacity will make it fainter) will apply it at whatever size and colour you have set.

Again, I mainly apply it on a new layer as this gives even more flexibility.

(3)
If you want your written signature. Open ether by scan or photographing your signature written on white paper, into PS. Open in levels and make the paper max white and the signature max black, resize to 1000 pixels on the long side.
Then, edit - define brush preset - and in the pop up, name it. OK.
That is it, the brush is ready to use.

Yet again, I mainly apply it on a new layer as this gives even more flexibility.

I think that’s it.
