2. Create a new layer, and fill it with white.  Set this layers blending mode to darken:

3. Using the darken blending mode will take out all of the white areas in an image.  Now we need to add a stroke.  Go to edit > Stroke, and add a stroke with the following settings:

4. A 3px black stroke should appear on the border of your document.  Add another stroke:
