I'm creating navigational elements in photoshop and I want to be able to adjust the outline by itself, as well as there are some elements that are only an outline with no fill. How do I create shape outlines without the fill?
Adobe Photoshop CS4, PC.

2. Ctrl-select that layer to select the shape
3. Create a new layer
4. Edit -> Stroke... to create the outline
5. Delete the original shape

don't forget there is a stroke from the drop down menus not just in effects, this is what you need when you want a stroke on a stroke on a stro
