I need help making a thin black border around an image. I use the marquee tool and do go to select then border and use 1 as the amount of pixels then ctrl + delete and its too big thick and it won’t let me use .5 as an option.

You can’t have half a pixel.

One pixel is too thick? What’s the resolution of the graphic?

125 by 125

I think I might be doing something wrong.

"125 by 125"

That’s not the resolution, that’s the absolute size. Besides…125…what? I’ll assume you mean pixels?

How many pixels per inch (or centimeter)?

make a new layer. while on the marquee tool, hit Ctrl+A (select all) then right click and hit stroke. select 1 px and make sure you check "inside" and make sure you pick the right color.

What I would do is set the background color to Black, press CTRL+A to SELECT all. The CONTRACT your SELECTION by 1 pixel.

Know that 1 pixel is the smallest increment of size ON YOUR SCREEN. Each pixel contains 3 filaments. Red, Green and Blue, shown each at different brightnesses, whic when put together, give you a seperate dot of light. So 0.5 pixels isn’t an option.
