Want to make fill of text transparent but not stroke

Thanks everyone! Sorry for posting a PS CC question on a Elements forum... Didnt realize i did that! But the problem was indeed resolved!

You guys ROCK!

Please post a meaningful screenshot that includes all pertinent Panels.

You might be confusing the features of Shape Layers and Type Layers, but as you clipped your screenshot to the point of meaninglessness it’s hard to tell.

happy_97 (edit: and Terri Stevens) probably assumes you used the Layer Style »Stroke« but again it is not possible to tell for sure what you did exactly.

You are going about this in the wrong way

1) Start with some text on a background

2)Use a 'layer effect' to apply a stroke like below

3) In the layers panel take the 'fill' value down to 0% Fill only affects the text and not the layer effect.

Finally just adjust the image with curves or levels.

8400449  wrote Hey everyone, Currently using Photoshop CC and i'm trying to make my text "no fill" and add "stroke" to create an outline-styled text. However, when i click on the 'direct selection tool' with the text layer selected, the Fill & Stroke boxes on the top menu wont allow me make changes... Any thoughts what's the issue here?

Since you are on Photoshop CC, better ask in the Photoshop forum

Photoshop General Discussion

This is the Photoshop Elements forum; the options of the software are different.
