Total newbie question about shapes

Hi All,
I am a complete newbie at Photoshop, but learning as I go!

Basically I want to draw a circle, and then make the line wider and a different color. When I checked the 'help' files in Photoshop, it said to draw the circle using the elipse tool, then select "Edit" and "Stroke."

When I do this, the word "Stroke" is grayed out on the "Edit" menu - it won't let me select that option.

Am I completely missing a step here? :confused:

TIA!!!

I think you should hold on "SHIFT" and click !,try again

If you are using the elipse shape tool make sure your optioons (at the top of the PS window) is set to "Paths". If its set to "Shape" stroke and fill will be grayed out.
