My co-workers and I are stumped. How do you draw a curve using the pen tool, but NOT have Photoshop fill it in? We can’t seem to find out where or how to set the option to do it.

-Thanks

After you’ve selected the pen tool, look at the left corner of the tool bar. There is a groups of three small icons which determine that behavior. You need the middle icon (paths) for what you want, but you now have the left one (shape layers) selected.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! We were closing the file and opening it again in Illustrator to get around the issue!

I can’t wait to show my fellow G.A.’s how simple the fix is!
