Photoshop - Silly question, but can't figure it out..

Ok so I am using the pen tool in Photoshop and as soon as I do 3 points it fills that part in black.. so I know it's the color box but I can't change it to NO FILL. I am used to illustrator where you can choose no fill with that red line across the square but I can't do it in photoshop. How do i get rid of the fill when I am using the pen tool? Thanks!

After selecting the pen tool be sure you select the "paths" option in the tool bar at the top...see attachment. This is in PS 7.0 but I think CS@ is the same or similar but I'm too lazy to go upstairs and look. If you have the "shape layers" selected it will fill in!

No problem!

Another silly question,

say you have 3 or 4 images open in photoshop, what is the best/fastest way to switch between them, I havent found any keyboard shortcuts, other than pressing F a couple of times and clicking on another image, but surely there is a better cleaner way of doing this? Currently I go up to the "Window" menu, then go down and click on the image I want to switch to, kinda slow and very annoying.
