An edge effect is quite simple to do, and I find this brings out an image. What this effect does is it outlines your image, and making it bolder. This is the image I'm starting with.

-Now, go to Filter ) Filter Gallery. -Then, go to the "Artistic" section, and click on Paper Edges. Once you've found where it is located, play around with the effect until you are happy with your finished product, then click OK.

This is what mine turned out like:

If you are wanting only a certain section to have the effect, use the magic wand tool, and hold down shift while selecting the parts you wish to get effected.

Ta-da!

You may notice some images work and look better when they are bold-ed then others, so just play around and find the right image.
