add a picture frame

Hello Lena44; You can set your Contour to give you the thickness you want and the Color you want then draw the frame the way you want it and out line it.

Hi Lena,

You are probably asking for something a lot more complicated, but this was all that I could think of.

If you just want a simplistic red border, then:
1. duplicate image as a layer
2. Create a paper size 10 pixels wider and higher than the image
3. Fill the background with the new paper with red. Add any ornamentation or feathering to the background layer

If you already have a frame in another image.
1. Select the frame. Convert to layer.
2. Place over image.
3. Resize and square up using the Transform tools.

Now what did you really want.

For a quick line border in PP that doesn't add extra width to my image, I use the Rectangle tool.

1. First, turn on Snap to Grid on the View menu.
2. Next, change the grid divisions to match your image (e.g. if your image is 800px x 600px  then make the divisions 100 x 100).
3. Choose the Rectangle tool and on its property bar change the fill option to No Fill, type in your desired outline width, select your color, and choose to place it on a new layer.
4. Starting at one corner of the image and draw the rectangle diagonally to the opposite corner (it will snap in place).. 
5. If you are happy with it, combine the "frame" layer with the image layer.
6. Done. Takes much longer to type out the instructions than to actually do it.
