dependent on how you have the saving settings. If you want the same as the
original, or larger, use the save for web to set your settings

What is the correct way to add the text and
to burn in a watermark without losing
anything?

Only work with BMP or TIFF.
JPG is a lossy type.

Do not use "Save for Web" except for images you intend to publish on the
Web. Even more data than normal for a Jpeg "Save" will be discarded, and
the file size will be even smaller.
If you must save as Jpeg, set the Jpeg level to max, (12 on PS).
1st off I said use save for web to SET the settings. There might be
another way, there's always 10 ways to do something in PS. I just use save
for web to set my different formats for saving.


It is much better to save as PSD or Tiff.
PSD isn't a generic format. Nor a format transportable even between
different versions of PS. BMP is and tiff isn't used that much.

Of course PSD is transferrable between versions of Ps.

If you want to use programs which can't read PSDs then you should be using
Tiff.

The fact that most of the idiots out there only ever use Jpeg, and don't
use Tiff, does not make Tiff into a poor Format.

It takes up quite a bit of space, but memory, both Flash and HDD, is
cheap.

will a layered TIFF open in other programs with the layers??
sometimes it will only show the top layer of the tiff, often an adjustment
layer or other single layer that doesn't look right without the rest.
for example open a layered tiff in windows picture fax viewer and see
