Outlining Pictures (comments)

You can also use a mask to save on some of the copy and pasting. You still need to select your object; the find edges tool is good. Save your selection to an alpha channel in case you need to apply it again. Then copy your selection to a new layer. Turn visibility off on your original image (which is preserved). Use the expand selection to go out enough to give you the line thickness you want. Save that selection to a second alpha channel. Now create a new layer and fill it with the colour you want the line to be. Put it underneath the layer with your image. Now create a new mask layer that only shows your (expanded) selection. The rest of the background will disappear and you will be left with a line around your image. You can easily create and apply different masks to vary the thickness of the line.
Awesome! And to everyone - an easier way to erase the background...there's a tutorial on that here:
