Hi all,
I have created a new document consisting of just 2 layers.

The bottom layer is transparent and the top layer is filled with red.
What I want to do is cut out a rectangle from the top layer revealing the transparent layer underneath.

It seems so easy but for the life of me I cant work out how to do it !

Thanks in advance.

select it with selection tool, right-click layer and choose "layer via cut"

then delete the original red layer and you got your shape.
