Dashed border:

• Create new layer(1) above the avy.
• Add 1px border as mentioned above, i'll be using white colour border.
• Create another layer(2) above (1).
• Select all.
• Edit- stroke selection- stoke line-1px line width-solid line- line style- dense dots- stroke (i used red color).

Note:

• You can also use long dash and dash dots as your line style, Actually i perfer these three styles over others.
• The colors on layer(1) and layer(2) varies with the colour scheme of your avy.

Select the area you want the border to go around using a selection tool. If you want to select the whole image, hit CTRL-A. Then right-click the image, select the "Edit" menu, and select "Stroke Selection". It'll have an option to select how you want your line dashed.
