• Answer:

  There are several ways (as with almost everything in Photoshop). You can use a shape. A shape is just an object on a new layer that has different styles and properties. Draw your shape then open it's layer and you can adjust the fill color, shadow effects, opacity etc. from there. For more help then http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-73a9a.html may be useful. Another way is to use the marquee selection tools and then go to Edit > Stroke and just have an outline. You can also use the Paint Bucket and fill the marquee. If you do this on a new layer you'll find you can also use the layer style tools to manipulate the marquee exactly as if you used a shape.
