Hi,

I've upgraded to PhotoShop CS2 because I thought it may be more
intuitive, but I've still having trouble doing basic things.

I wanted to draw an empty reactangle onto an existing background, but
the Rectangle Tool kept providing a fill. I found that I could remove
it, but the rectangle didn't show up when I saved the image. I
eventaully drew it with the pencil, this did what I wanted.

Now I want a triangle, in grey, and curve on one of the edges would be
nice. Tried the Triangle Tool, same problme, plus I couldn't find out
how to position the points - Transform didn't do it.

OK, RTFM. Nothing (and lots of pages marked with "?" in the ToC). Read
some of "Sams" book - it seems I need the Pen tool, so I get Bezier
curves. Fine, where is the Pen tool, can't see it. Right click all the
icons in the Toolbox, nope. Look in Help. It shows me what the icon
looks like, but not where it is. Ten minites later, I look again,
there it is, mocking me. Argggggh!

So I'm asking for help. Is the pen what I need? How do I turn the
resultant shape into a series of grey pixels in my image?
