...so you want a border eh??


Step 1: Open the image you want to modify to have a border.

Step 2: Click on the rectangular marquee tool. Change the style (at the top) to 'Fixed Size' and the width and height to fit one of the borders of your image. Click here for visual demonstration. As you can see, I want to have the width border to be 1 pixel thick. What I have done is adjusted the height to 1 pixel and the width to the size of the picture, 182 pixels long.
Step 3: Set your foreground colour to black.

Step 4: Select the edge of your image (make sure it's all the way to the edge). Now press Alt and Backspace together.

Step 5: Now do the same for the height border by repeating steps 2-4 except changing the settings of the height and width for step 2.

Step 6: Save your image as whatever.jpg or whatever.gif Congratulations. You have now added borders around your image like what I've done with Snoopy below. =)

If this tutorial is too hard, e-mail me and I have 2 other methods of adding borders (back up 0\/\/|\|z XD). This happens to be the hardest of the 3 to make borders, but I feel this is the most proper way of doing borders. =P
