Press R and select your biggest layer and highliught it(were adding the border to this one ) make sure colors black
make a new layer as big as the layer your bordering
and do edit - > stroke selection... and then 10
do it again with the color white and do 7.5 instead of 10
do it again with black and make it 5
When youre done with that press Ctrl+L and click on your new layer make the mode Burn(or overlay or any other choices)
