Ripped and Torn Edge Effect
This is a cool special effect that gives your images the
appearance they have been torn or ripped (hence the title.)
Step 1: Getting Started
- Begin with a new image
- Enter Bitmap Mode. Double click the image to enter Bitmap
Mode
- Select the Lasso Tool
- With the Lasso Tool, draw out the edges along one of the
sides of the image.
- Continue along the entire side and close the selection.
Step 2: Deleting the
Selection
- Once the selection is complete, click Delete to remove the
selection.
- If your background is transparent, change the Canvas Color
(Modify>Canvas Color) or create a new layer and place it
beneath the image with a filled rectangle on it.
Variations: You can use the Hard Edge or the Feathered Edge
for the Lasso Tool. To get to the Tool options, double click the
Lasso Tool and select the edge you want.
