    Border around gradient filled rectangle

      Hello

       

      I am hoping for some assistance with this query, if possible.

       

      I have Photoshop CS and I am not sure how to create a rectangular box (in the corner of a photo) with a black border of about 3px, and the inside of the box should be coloured in an orange-yellow gradient.

       

      Then I want to create another rectangular box (in a different corner of the same photo), again with a black border of about 3px, and the inside of the box should be a straight white.

       

      I have tried it using the rectangular marquee tool and then going to Edit | Stroke (3 px), but the border itself is coloured orange/yellow. I click the gradient tool and that part seems OK, but I end up with an orange/yellow gradient framed by a yellow border - and not a black one.

       

      Many thanks
