I want to create an empty box

[jmlopes151]

Can't seem to create an empty box in PS can I get help? I have only been able to create solid boxex ( rectangles ).

Rectangular marquee tool in the palet. Then click "edit"> "stroke"

I like creating the rectangle, giving it a Stroke and then setting the layer fill to 0%.  As a note, you have to put the stroke to the inside so that the corners are limited to the dimensions of the rectangle and the corner points stay sharp.

Here's what happens I create a new page. The background of the new page is locked. If I create a layer then add the rectangle > Edit the Stroke then what? If I make a change nothing changes the rectangle is still solid.

This may be of help.

1. Select the rectangle tool.

2. Set to shape layers.

3. Draw the rectangle.

4. Fill opacity 0%.

5. Layer style>Stroke.

6. Adjust settings to taste.

You can unlock the background layer by double clicking

the thumbnail in the layers panel.

This worked..

I had to be sure I set the opacity from the properties panels on the right side.

Thanks for the help
