You'll have to make it yourself by grabbing the vector layer with oceans
and overlaying that on top of whatever land you want, then style it

Was that a compressed png? did you try an uncompressed one? are you sure
you kept the same image resolution? Did you try loading it in QGIS and
doing a gdal_translate. FYI JPEG might come out better but why can't you
just keep it a tiff?
