Transparent Background

[BigDingus]

Hi guys.

I'm trying to create a Watermark in PS CC.

When I open a 'new document' I don't have the transparent option. Background contents has White, Black and Background Color only.

Can anyone tell me how I should go about this?

Scroll down and you will see the additional options

Ok, so now I feel dumb.

Thanks for your help though.

Haha . To be fair - it is not the best of dialogue designs.

(This quoting problem is a pain!)

The worst case of hidden information I have had with Adobe apps was with Media Encoder with Premiere Pro.  It used to be a nightmare to get a decent render before we had the lovely preset we have nowadays (this was PremPro version 2.0)  and I just couldn't get a decent render.  I found a help page that described what I needed to adjust, but mine didn't have that option.   Of course it was scrolled out of sight, but in a cunningly disguised sort of a way guaranteed to make the calmest of people pull there hair out.   As I remember it, even after discovering the hidden options, it was still a pain to get a decent output.

I _love_ all the presets we have nowadays, but I think there should be a secret 'Easter Egg' type, totally obscure, key combination to enable them so that new users would have to suffer like I did all those years ago.   (Five devils are the  Spinal Tap 'These go to Eleven' on the evil dark side of the Force scale)

Only after scrolling the parent panel can you see the entire Background Contents menu and the Transparent option.

Thanks for your help. I would mark this as solved if he 'Actions' selection would work.

I am glad you have got the solution.

How do you even get those boxes to open where the transparent background option is?

Also, where is the magic eraser located?

It does not appear to be on my copy.

Thanks!
