You’ll have to draw the border and the fill separately.

Sooo much contention here.
Hater…
Choose the Elliptical Marquee Tool.
Drag out your ellipse.
Select a forground color.
Right-Click on the marching ants selection, and slide down the contextual menu to "Stroke…"
Should be obvious from there.
Happy now?
ihate photoshop,
Try this:
1. create a new transparent document
2. select the elliptical marquee tool
3. draw your elipse
4. menu: select > modify > border
5. type the number of pixels you want as a border
6. select the paint bucket tool
7. select a foregroud color that you like
8. fill the selected area with your color
That might be what you’re looking for.

<edit> phosphor’s way is faster. Just goes to show you that it would be difficult for Adobe to list the steps to every "simple" task that Photoshop is capable of in Help.
I got the idea that only the fill should be transparent with the stroke solid.
But if I misunderstood then Phos’ way is better than mine.

Thats what I see in his thread also bob.

" I got the idea that only the fill should be transparent with the stroke solid."
Ummm…what am I not getting here?
The steps I described will make an elliptical stroke with no fill.
I read transparent to mean translucent.
This is just another example of why posters need to give SPECIFICS when posting questions. Besides, the OP seems to have disappeared anyway.

Well, Bob…
You can hardly expect a tech writer who thinks Photoshop’s online documentation to be so useless to be any good withahem!specifics, can you?
