I am wondering what the easiest way to create a frame for a picture in photoshop (or Illustrator, or Indesign, etc...) Example:

In Photoshop I manually created the lines to create the frame for this picture. What I am wondering is, how could I tell the program to always keep these lines a certain distance from the four sides, regardless of the dimensions of the canvas. I did this picture in dimensions to print wallet sized pictures (2.5x3.5) but I want to be able to change it print an 8x10 as well. THey way I did this currently is created new guides on the 4 sides that were a certain distance away from the top and left side, since this is how photoshop measures. i want to be able to tell it to create two of the guides with the top and left as reference, and the other two with the right and bottomas reference.
Ok, I'll shutup and let someone else talk now. I'm just rambling and probably becoming more confusing by the second!
Thanks!
