Borders

Ummm... so... have you tried any image editing software? You could accomplish something like that border with MSPaint, if you really wanted to. Photoshop, Gimp, whatever...
 
What kind of software are you using? I'm still running Photoshop 7.0, but even it has at least some rudimentary borders built in. There are plenty more available from third parties. Here's what the lame built-in one does:

All it takes is clicking on the action and hitting the "run" button...
 
I forgot to mention that I have photoshop. But im looking for a plugin that will automatically add a border to any size picture. Is this possible?
 
Check these out. They may be a bit fancier than what you're looking for, though he's got some other options. This one was as simple as downloading the actions, unzipping the file, going to the action palette, choosing "Load Actions..." from the palette's menu, then running the action.

If you select "Layer / new / from background, then use stroke in the blending options, you can put a nice border on the image. Any color you want and patterns as well.

But I'm sure everyone knew that here already :p
 
The main problem there is that you'll end up stroking over part of your picture, at least if you don't take pains to avoid it. You can definitely do some nice stuff with that, I just don't think it's quite what the OP was looking for. Of course you can always just resize the canvas and all that stuff to make sure the border doesn't cover your photo, but there's a point past which you might be better off just using an action. I know some of the actions leave their results in a collection of layers, which still gives you the option of using some of the nifty blending options.

Anyway, good idea nonetheless. Here's a lame example that I spent all of about five seconds on:

That's just using a stroke set to inner, so I didn't have to bother with resizing the canvas or making a new layer or anything. Good quick solution when you don't want to mess with actions.
 
I hear ya HPK, I usually just put a small black line around my images. usually 3-5 stops.
Like this one.
