Hi Richard. You should be able to do this a little quicker (well, not compared to an action I suppose) using the background extension color on the canvas size dialog. You can pick any color you want, and I think you can even setup the action to prompt you to choose (it's been a while since I did anything like that in actions) when you run it. As for your method, it might be good to stop the action before you flatten the image. This would allow you to change the solid color layer to any color you want after the fact. Otherwise you're needing a separate action for each color border that you want to use. Just some thoughts. Thanks for sharing your technique.
LOVED THE VIDEO

Cheers for the comment Craig 👍. I like the white border myself, but you are right the method can be modified to get different colours.
