Select the whole image. Then under edit select stroke. Set the color and size of stroke.

my program has add frame...so you can pick the thickness and add any color you wish as a frame.

If you have layers on your file, like I frequently do, you just double click on the layer, then you will get an option window that gives you filters to apply to your layer. "Stroke" is the one that will give you the line. You'll see a red box (most versions of PS will be red, Mac or PC), if you click on that box, you will see a color picker palette. There you can choose your color for the stroke (255 on R-G-B for pure white, 0 on RGB for black, fyi ) I usually choose a stroke line of 2 or 3 pixels, but it's personal preference.
Also, here you can apply a drop shadow, bevel effect, outer glow...many great effects to make your images pop! Have fun!

Here's an example of three views of one bead with a stroke around each view. Each view was a separate layer on one main file, which was then flattened when I was done......

This all works and I posted a tut on doing borders in Photoshop as well if you want to do multiple lines and effects:

If you don't want to fiddle about with photoshop just add a border to your img tag on the page

<img src="yourfile.jpg" border=1>

You can fiddle around with the border thickness by upping the number.
