Adding borders in Elements

I've recently been forced to switch to using Elements rather than PSP X2 due to the latter going haywire on my computer (am no longer able to open this, even after removing and re-installing).

Perhaps I am going about it the wrong way, but I have yet to find an effective way of adding borders in Elements. This was so simple in PSP - you just added pixels of bold colours which were incorporated on the edge of the photo, with the image itself being resized within the new border.

In Elements I've worked out that by cropping outside the image I can obtain a white border. But this adds quite a broad border, whereas I (often) prefer a narrow white border around the photo with a broader black border outside that.

Have searched on Elements online but not found anything that achieves this.

Can any forum members suggest a solution?

There are a lot of borders found under the effect tab on the right hand side panel. (above layers)
They come in all colours. Very tatty and imo very "Not Done"

The most effective way is:
Click image---->resize---->canvas size.
A box will appear giving you a lot of choices.
For borders make sure you tick the relative box.
A thin black or white line usually takes a amount 0f 3-5 pixels, depending file size.
See screen shot:




If you want a thin white and black line, just repeat the steps and change the foreground colour.

Excellent Martin - that's just the trick.

Thanks
