How do you make borders in photoshop
ur 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). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v476/samma383/Border1.jpg
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 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v476/samma383/Border1-1.jpg
Border Type 2 : Note this must have around 5 layers of brushing at least.

To hell with layers, the easiest is to select the image and use Stroke. Bang, done. Geez, the answers above make this look like a contest to see who can waste the most time...
Now if the question was "How do you make borders in Photoshop using as many steps as possible", then you've done a great job.
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.

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.
Ya, I agree with plainwhitets. To add a border on microsoft word, just click on insert, then borders, and select one you like!!!
It's easier to save the image and make a background on Microsoft Word, then move it back!
