Well, I don't know what program you're using, but with Jasc, you go to 'Image' ---> 'Add Borders'. From there you can choose thickness (amount of pixels) and colors. The specific border you're refering to would imply that you first choose a thin (1 pixel) back border, then add a white border (1-2 pixels), then add a thicker black border. And yes, it is perfectly legal in all challenges.
I'm sure any other editing prgram (Adobe,Paint Shop,Photo Shop,Elements etc. has something similar).
Hope this helps!

The way I do it in Digital Image Pro is to use the Rectangle Marquee tool and drag it to the inside dimension of the border...invert the selection and then fill it with the color I want. Then I add a square object make the border white and the fill transparent and resize the square (now just a white line) to fit just inside the black border.
Actually sometimes I will duplicate the Inverted selection into a layer (or two) so that I can mess with the edges of the border. As the frame is now it's own layer just adding soft egdes will give it a 3D effect against your photo. Mess with gradients and transparency and It is all kinds of fun.
ED: There is actually an easier way in Digital Image Pro than what I described above.
Under Effects > Edges there is an options called Frames and Mats... the border on the Pic in the OP is a mat. Choose Simple Mat Choose your size and color and DIP does the rest. Under Frames you can do all that fancy wood grained stuff but a mat makes more sense when presenting on the web.

| I agree with Annah using Jasc it's as easy as abc, you can create as many borders as you want at any size at any color on a single image,you can select unit of measure of your own choice,after applying the border re-size your image according to you need. |

I'm not sure which method mentioned here above cuts into your image but I use the Canvas mode. Which stretches your Background and I would go Black>White>Black.
So if you were at 640x640 you might add 7 pixels of a black stretched background, now reading 647x647 pixels
Then change the background color to white and stretch that 5 pixels, now reading 652x652 pixels.
Then back to a black backgound and add a 15 pixel stretch, now reading 667x667 pixels.
I usually do my canvases/borders before I size down to 640 for DPC. |

| I also made a thread on the same thing. If I remember when I get some time, I will compile some thoughts for submission to a tutorial for beginners. This seems to be a common issue for beginners and a thread isn't always easy to find. |

Photoshop easy steps
Image -> Canvas size -> 2 pixels black
Image -> canvas size -> 2 pixels white
Image -> Canvas size -> 16 pixels black
change the no. of pixels as desired and it will give you black/white/black border as in the image |

I also use canvas size in steps as others have mentioned.
One thing that I usually do, is figure out what total size my borders will be (in pixels), and when I resize I take that into account. I don't like to resize with very thin border lines in the mix. So, if I am going to have a 1px white and a 9px black border, that would be 10px per side (x2 for both top/bottom or right/left) for a total of 20px. Then I would resize my image to 620x??? After resizing, do any sharpening, etc...and add border last. Final is exactly 640x??? and the border is clean/sharp.

i use paint shop pro 8.. i used to create a new blank canvas with the border colour i wanted, and then pasted the photo (with smaller border already added) onto that canvas. now i just choose 'add borders' twice and change the colour/depth of border both times to create the exact same effect.

Thanks for posting my photo...
The way I made that border was by making the image like say 600 pixels wide. Then choose black as your background color, select Image, Canvas Size, and expand it on pixel. Choose grey as background, increase it another pixel, then go back to black, and increase it 8 or 10 or 20, etc...
Hope that helps.
EDIT: that should say expand it one pixel ON BOTH SIDES, so a total or 2...know what I mean?
