I'm thinking about adding borders to the photos I post online, but was wondering if anyone had any good PS CS actions before I went out and reinvented the wheel.

Thanks!

Keep the borders simple or they will take away from ur photograph.

I just resize my canvas to add a thin white border (2-20 pixels depending on photo resolution), then I resize the canvas again to add a thicker black border. It works well, it's simple, and I like the effect.

There are some nice borders at http://www.atncentral.com/ as well as some other cool actions.

Create yourself a little action is PS CS that simply uses the Stroke (on Edit menu, I think) command to add simple borders. Very easy to do.

Thanks guys... I was just looking for a basic white border film look action, maybe with a slight drop shadow. Nothing elaborate, just something to set the photo off from the background. I appreciate the tips!

There's an example of the method I posted above on this thread (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=60797).
