drop shadow with border

[Snowcap1]

I have been attempting to get help on how to do a drop shadow and add a border to an image.  Don't care where I go and the videos I watch the steps never provide me with a finished product I'm looking for.  So I'm attaching an image with shows the drop shadow and the border very clearly.  I'm hoping someone out there knows how to do this and can either direct me to a concise video or explain the steps.

Thank You

1. Resize the canvas from the centre by twice the desired border width.

2. Use the Flood Fill Tool (paint bucket) to fill the border area with your chosen colour.

3. Resize the canvas again to accommodate the drop shadow.

4. Add an ‘Outer Shadow’ effect, adjusting the opacity, radius, and intensity to your liking.

 A short take showing one possible procedure on a huger canvas for demonstration purposes. I use here a filled rectangle as the border portion, which will be placed as layer underneath the image then. So the image covers most parts of the rectangle and the color & size of the rectangle (thus the border part) can be adjusted by you to your individual likings.

Not shown here in the screen recording, In order then to export just the "image + border + shadow" area, so not the whole document (with the huger canvas), select and highlight the layers in the layers panel and export just those, let's say as a JPG with the following setup export setting on the export panel ...

• Area: "Selection Area"   or   Area: "Selection Only"

Hi @Snowcap1,

Another option could be to add a 'Stroke' to your image directly, and then apply an FX to suit, as shown below -

I hope this helps
