How to Make a Border
Simple Border
1: Create a new layer above all the other layers.
2: Press Ctrl+A to select the canvas.
3: Go to Edit/Stroke, and select the color you'd like to use. Set the location to Inside. Set the width to any size you'd like but I prefer 1px. Click OK.
4: Ctrl+D to deselect the canvas, and you've made a border!
Border #2
1: Create a new layer above all the other layers.
2: Press Ctrl+A to select the canvas.
3: Go to Edit/Stroke
4: Set the location to Inside
5: Select a color (we'll call this color 1), change the width to 1px, and click OK.
6: Press Ctrl+D to deselect.
7: Now take out the magic wand tool and click somewhere in the middle of the canvas.
8: Go back to Edit/Stroke and Inside should already be selected so pick out a different color (color 2) than the one you used before, change the width to 1px (or any other size but 1px looks best), and click OK.
9: Ctrl+D.
10: Again, take out the magic wand tool and click somewhere in the middle of the canvas.
11: Edit/Stroke, Inside should already be selected, use color 1, change width to 1px, and then click OK.
12: Congratulations, you've made a border!
Transparent Border
To make a make a transparent border you use the same steps as in Border #2, except color 1 has to be black and color 2 has to be white. Once you've made the border set the layer's blending mode to Darken of Multiply and you've made a transparent border!
Thanks for reading my tut and I hope it helps you out.
