Hi Judy

Open the image in the Expert workspace

Press Ctrl+A to select all

From the menu choose Edit >> Stroke

Try 25 pixels on the inside and set color to white or as preferred – see image.

Click OK then press Ctrl+D to deselect.

Depending on your image size you may need to experiment with the pixel width. 

Or use inches or centimetres instead of pixels e.g. 1 in, 2 cm etc.

Try this:

 

  • Open the image
  • Set the foreground color chip to the desired color for the border in the color picker
  • Go to Select menu>all
  • Open  a blank layer above the Background layer with the image
  • Go to Edit menu>Stroke(outline) selection. In the dialog that opens, place the stroke inside. For width, try 6-8 px (experiment). Color should be defined from step #2. ok it
  • If the stroke is unsatisfactory, delete Layer 1 and try again

In the images below you can see the original dimensions of 8.3 x 5.5 inches. I simply added one inch to each dimension and clicked OK & re-saved.

Thanks for your reply. Yes you would normally refer to photo border or photo frame. I have another video with a quick tip for using the crop tool as well as adjusting the canvas size. My latest YouTube  video also demonstrates how to get a classic look by firstly adding a stroke followed by a border.
