1. Re: Photoshop elements - shape without fill but w/ borders
Use the rectangular marquee tool to make a selection where you want the rectangle, then Edit>Stroke(outline) Selection to make the border. If you do this on a separate layer it will be possible to move or delete it later.

2. Re: Photoshop elements - shape without fill but w/ borders
Dear Barbara, thank you for your quick response.
Indeed, I tried this numerous times, but I cannot seem to get the fill transparent. It stays in my 'foreground color' and I cannot adjust the inner transparency. Using 'Style Settings' I can change the styles of the stroke, but not of the inner transparency. I hope you can give me a golden clue to make the shape completely transparent, with a opaque border.
Thank you,
Jan

You're missing something here.
1. Create a new blank layer.
2.Go to the rectangular marquee tool, the little dotted rectangle near the top of the tool box. Drag a rectangle where you want the outline.
3. Go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection and choose a color and width for the stroke.
There is no fill, ever. Do NOT use the rectangle shape tool down near the bottom of the toolbox. You are starting with a selection, not a shape.
