How do you make a border around an image in Photoshop 7?

I don't have PS 7, I have PS 6, but it's probably about the same. I will give you two ways.

Way 1
1. Make a new layer.
2. Drag the image you want a border around onto the new layer
3. Double click on the new image layer on the layers pallette
4. Put a check in the box that says stroke
5. Double click on the stroke thing to change the settings (width, color, etc.)

Way 2
Hold the pencil tool holding shift to draw straight lines around your image. :D

Or you can adjust the canvas size... go to image --> canvas size and put in desired number. Remeber that the border goes around the entire image, though, so if you want a 1px border you'll want to put in 2px so it goes on all sides.

Make sure your layers are merged. Flatten the image.

Orrrr...

Make a new layer, select the entire layer (CTRL+a) and go to edit > stroke. Select inside and the desired width.
