"Adobe Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems, Incorporated. I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Hi, I'm Steve Anthony. I'm a photographer and digital retouching artist here in New York City. In this clip we're going to talk about how to add a border to a picture in Photoshop. Simplest way to add a border in Photoshop is simply to go into the Layer dropdown menu and go to Layer Style and select Stroke. Now, it defaults to a red border of approximately three pixels. I'm going to make it a slightly larger border so you can see it more clearly, make it, say, 29, why not? We'll leave it at red, so it's quite obvious to you where the border is, and as you can see it quite clearly now, there is a border around the picture, and all we did was go into the Layer > Layer Style > Stroke command in Photoshop. It's just that simple. I'm Steve Anthony, and that's how to create a border around a picture in Photoshop."
