Increase the canvas size and fill it or paint it with white.

Can you describe your workflow?  It is a simple process to add a white margin, so we need to know how you are trying to achieve it up till now.

Thank you! I need to add a white or colored margin to a layered photo. It is a cropped one!

It is possible to create a white margin, but you may need to change tools or settings in order to do so. Are you using Crop tool? Canvas Size settings? Scaling a layer?

 

The composition of your file is also a factor. Is this a flat file (only has one layer named "Background")? Does it have multiple layers? Are any of them larger than the current canvas size?

It has multiple layers! Should I need to flatten it???

If you flatten an image, it will crop any information which is outside the canvas bounds. Then only blank material gets exposed when you expand the canvas
