I just use the basics, expand canvas with colours, Canvas Size -> Relative 105% on sides, and choose a colour.

Create and record your own actions, then save them. Later on, you only need one click to make them happen. :)

If you like those fancy tastes, take a look at these:

Likewise. I haven't discovered another way of doing it in PS. Having said that, there is normally about 10 different ways to achieve the same effect in that program.

Depending on the border / frame effects you're going for, try OnOne Photoframe or look up some brushes on DeviantArt.

I use a photoshop action that's modified from Mike Brewer's Invariant Frame which I downaloaded from Action central.
