Borders are a great way to add visual interest to your images and webpages. You can create borders in Photoshop by using the Stroke command.

  1. To create a border around your image:
  2. Open your image in Photoshop.

  5. In the Stroke dialog box, choose a width for your border. The default width is 1 px.
  6. Choose a color for your border from the Color drop-down menu. You can also click the color swatch to choose a custom color.
  7. Choose where you want the stroke to be positioned in relation to your selection from the Position drop-down menu. The default position is Outside.
  8. Click OK to add the border to your image or selection.
