How can I add a white border to a small layered image. If I have the layer selected (yellow dotted line) and I do Filters->Decor->Add border it adds this new layer; maybe I am trying to add a border to my small image incorrectly?
(also can I attach images to these chats, might be easier to show you the snip image)
You can use a selection and Edit -> Stroke selection but....
Select -> Select All selects all the canvas even when the small image layer is active so you need a work-around.
Use the Fuzzy select tool and a maximum threshold value (255)
or...ticking the Draw mask option then clicking in the small image layer, drag the mouse until the whole layer shows magenta. Release mouse for selection.
Set the FG colour to the colour you want.
Then Edit -> Stroke selection and use twice the width required (half is outside the layer and not used)
Tidy up, select none ...etc
