I know how I do it, but the explanation would make it sound much more complicated & time consuming than it is

If your frame is 6x8 & your image is 5x7, you can use a custom-cut matte board as a frame within a frame, which would be a 5x8 matte board with a 5x7 hole cut in the center. Or, you can print it 6x8 & leave a 1 inch white border all around.

In PS, after your image is ready, use Canvas Size to add a border all around your image, in effect printing the matte board.

i'll give it a try, as long as it doesn't compromise image quality.

Can't you just make the image smaller, and then enlarge the Canvas size with the background color set to black?

Does anyone know how to add a big black letterbox frame around an image, to cut a long story short, it needs to fit into a 6x8 frame, but it's portrait crop. THe frame has already been made, and I took my image in landscape mode. My client didn't make this clear, or I may of not listened properly, :( THe frame shop owners said if i put a black frame around it, it will fit.

I looked for a tutorial but couldn't find one :(
