Border around a Picture

Why did Photoshop make putting a white border around a picture so complicated. It use to be so simple.

Hi @jerryb92116851 couldn't you simply create a layer style with a white stroke?

Why complicated?

1. Open image
2. Choose Select > All
3. Choose Edit > Stroke...

Put the stroke on the inside of your image.

Done.

Or you could simply expand the 'Canvas' size by using the Crop Tool and dragging the crop margins outside (away from) the image. A new background layer will use the curently set background color.
