Answer #1

ur all n00bs…

theres 2 types of borders i use Border Type 1 : This is one of the most popular borders.

You should have a signature that something looks like this (could look competely different). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v476/samma383/Border1.jpg

Step 1 : Make a new layer above all other layers and then select all, and do a 1 pixel black inside stroke. Stroke can be found by Edit > Stroke

Step 2 : Make a new layer above the 1 pixel black stroked layer and select all, do a 3 pixel black inside stroke, then a 2 pixel white inside stroke.

Step 3 : Turn the layer just made (in step 2) so that the settings are on overlay.

Your result should look like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v476/samma383/Border1-1.jpg


Border Type 2 : Note this must have around 5 layers of brushing at least.
