4. I created a new layer and filled it with white-make white foreground color and press alt-backspace

5. Then I used seletc> modify> contract 30 pixels - I hit backspace to make the frame

6. Then: layer> styles> stroke 3 pixels, making it black

7. Then image > hue/saturation - I slid lightness slider all the way to the left

8. I unhid the selection layer and applied the original layer-Flattened then saved
