There are many other filter to use but i suggest you Spatter Filter for this effect. Its relay amazing to see.
You can create  interesting and unique Photo Border with using this filter. So here we go to create  our unique Photo Border.

1. Take New Image File

First of all open your Photoshop select new file. Take new image as you want for this tutorial.
I take 400px x 600px file size for this one. you can take any image as you like.
Now I take this one. Give the name of image layer as like image01. Now you can see your file like this.

2.Duplicate the Image Layer

Now create duplicate layer of the Image01  layer and give the name like Image02.
You can right click on image layer or press Ctrl+J for duplicate the layer

Ok!  now we have 2 layers. First one is imae01 and image02. Now take new layer between image01 layer  and image02 layer.

This layer should blank or fill any color in it.

3.Make the Selection of Layer

First of all hide the layer of image01. Than go on layer of image02  and make selection on the images layer.
You can use shortcut also press ctrl and click on image02 layer. OK now go to select > modify > contract
you can see this image. I take 15 pixels for selection. You take any value for this as you required  now i take 15px, click OK.

After clicking ok.You can get this image.

4.Apply Layer to  Layer Mask

Go to layer palette select the image02 layer and click on layer mask.
This is very important stage for creating border effect. Now be clear we just create a layer mask not a layer itself.
So click the layer mask. When you finish it. Now we are going for our main goal of this tutorial.

5. Apply Spatter Filter to Image

Select the layer of image02 go to filter > Brush Strokes > Spatter just click on it and you can see this palette
take  the value of spray radius and smoothness. I’m going to enter a value for spray radius – 10 and its smoothness -5
you can try any other values if want. Still we take this.

OK here we get our image with very interesting and unique image border effect.

The process might look little lengthy but once you start using it, it will hardly take 2-3 minutes to do it. I will love to hear your reaction about this effect and you can also request for any particulate Photoshop tutorial here via comment.
