Is there a "border" option that I'm not finding? I just want to give an image a simple black border, but I haven't stumbled over an easy way to do this. I've tried using a pen or rectangle tool, but the pen is too time consuming and the rectangle fills in the whole image.

If you take the rectangle tool and inverse the selection (ctrl+shift+i) you can fill a border with black.

Hope this helps..

Use a layer style as they are editible. Without Photoshop open, I think it's commonly found in the layers palette (the f in a black circle). - choose stroke.

Not necessarily. There is an option to set position of a Layer Style stroke to Inside.
