I use photoshop.

Photoshop...after you're done editing you press ctrl+A to select all

Edit>stroke

then tell it how big of a border you want..usually about 10-15-20 px is good enough and make sure you change it to black.

10-20??? thats huge, you must still have your setting on center, If you click inside you can get a real size on your border.

Is there any other way to go around having photoshop?
I try not to download anything onto my computer.

Yeah the problem with that is that you are only seeing half of the stroke. The other half is outside of the viewable area. Hence why the person above you suggested to put it on "inside" rather than "Center".

Instead of half-assing it like you have in the past (which "works") you should learn the right way to do it.

just curious as to what the point is of doing so....if he gets the desired effect he wants who gives a ****?

[atlantamx3]

he wanted to know the right way to do it and was advised how. Thats the point of learning, right?

Its fine to do it however you choose and true, it may work for you.

Why not just take the extra .1 second and click the box?

Actually, a more correct way would be to increase the canvas size and then paint the new area around the picture black/white.

But hey, do whatever you want, honestly. Its not that big of a deal.
