How do I put a white border around an image - automatically.

Often I have my digital photo collection
printed out commercially on to postcard-sized
prints.
Sadly, the lab always crops the print to fit.
This is no good if I have typed descriptions
on the bottom of the print.
To stop this happening I want to put a wide
white border around the print -
automatically.
Can someone help me with this.
I have PS5.5.
Regards,Frank

Yes thank you. I did it from the "Canvas
Size" and selected the "percentage" part of
the drop-down box and now it works perfectly.
I never noticed the "percent" thing before.
Many thanks for all replies.
Regards.

make sure white is the color in your tool bar set for background
Image >canvas size, double the size of the border you want and add to the
height and width, type it in, select the center square for alignment.
If you record this as an action you can play it again on any other image
In later versions you can just add strokes
maybe it's there in 5.5 under edit >stroke??
can't remember such old versions way to do it

these unused words floating about:
Do it -=once=- using percentages and record as an action!

Can you help me with an automatic (macro) way
to add a border of a fixed size?
Thanks

order a custom print and tell them you want a full original on whatever size
paper and DO NOT CROP
make sure the file contains all the white area and type you want (Roy told
how)

Hi.
Make it bigger by adding white.
Image > Canvas Size.
Then Image > Image Size back to what it was.
