How do you make borders in photoshop

It's easier to save the image and make a background on Microsoft Word, then move it back!

Ya, I agree with plainwhitets. To add a border on microsoft word, just click on insert, then borders, and select one you like!!!

Borders are not Photoshop's forte. It can be done, but not in a fairly straight forward manner. It depends on what type of border you want, but try the above suggestions.

your all n00bs...

theres 2 types of borders I use
Border Type 1 : This is one of the most popular borders.

You should have a signature that something looks like this (could look competely different).

Step 1 : Make a new layer above all other layers and then select all, and do a 1 pixel black inside stroke. Stroke can be found by Edit > Stroke

Step 2 : Make a new layer above the 1 pixel black stroked layer and select all, do a 3 pixel black inside stroke, then a 2 pixel white inside stroke.

Step 3 : Turn the layer just made (in step 2) so that the settings are on overlay.

Your result should look like this

Border Type 2 : Note this must have around 5 layers of brushing at least.

As lonelywolfoftyme has just demonstrated, it can be done - but as I said, not in a straightforward manner. Playing around with layers is hardly the easiest way of creating a border.

To hell with layers, the easiest is to select the image and use Stroke. Bang, done.
