I make a new layer on top of everything, fill it with your desired frame colour, then control-click on the layer in the layers menu. It will now have marching ants around the outside of it. Now, in the top menu bar, go select-modify-contract, depending on your image size, about 20px will do (play around with it). Now press delete. Voila, a neat and easy frame.
To add a thin line as well, while the ants are still marching, go select-modify-expand. Maybe 5px will do. Swap to your Rectangular or Elliptical Marquee Tool, right click on the screen, you will get a menu option. Choose stroke, now you can decide on the colour & pixel width of the line you want. Lets say white & 1px. Press Ok then Control-D to deselect the line.
Don't forget, at any stage if you're not happy with the results, Control-alt-Z will take you back 1 step at a time to adjust things.
