I don't know how well this will work with Corel apps, but there's probably a similar thing you can do. In PhotoShop:
Resize your canvas by either 2 or 4 pixels (depending upon the desired thickness) on both the width and height. Make sure the picture stays centered (that's the default anyway).
Use the pain bucket to fill the blank border with black, or whatever other color you want for a border.
This will create a black frame around your picture.

Subject: Borders in screen shots
I use Corel Capture to capture screens for online help. Often I only need
to capture a part of the screen. When these shots appear online they
disappear into the white background. What is the easiest and fastest way to
add a border to captured parts of a screen?
Thanks for your help.
