Adding borders

[bob1]

I would like to add some plain borders to some of my photos but all the software i have downloaded only seem to add silly ones.
What's the best free software out there?
Thanks.

You could do it yourself. Depending on how your software works, try something like:

Set background colour to the colour you want your border.
Increase the canvas size by 5 pixels all round.

Hey presto, a quick border. You could also do something a little more fancy like creating a 3 pixel white border, then a 1 pixel black border, and then another 3 pixel white border.

Just experiment and see what you come up with

Hello thanks for the info ,forgot to say I'm new at all this and what you just told me means very little.
I have adobe photoshop 7 if that's any help.

As Bursar pointed out, the simplest way is to increase the canvas size. Here's a pretty straightforward tutorial showing you how to do it and change the colour of the border too.
