[@user-jx3ze8up9i]

Hi christina! really helpful.. if you can please explain bit slower about how you get that ripped out effect for the image! tried to do it but when i tried to do but didn't work..Thank for doing these kinds of vedios...keep up the works

[@WithloveChristina]

Hi! So glad it was helpful! For the paper effect, I’m just using my pencil tool on the lowest fidelity to draw out a rugged edged shape. Then clip mask the photo into that shape. Then draw one more rugged edged shape in a white fill specifically and place it behind the photo. That’s it! I’ve gone on to group them and give them a drop shadow too. For this, go to Effect > Drop Shadow. Hope that helps!

How to cut a Pic into two and make a transparent like you did to the butterfly Pic?

[@WithloveChristina]

Hi! Can you give me the time stamp that you’re referring to?

[@CatharineJhonass]

​@@WithloveChristina11:01, superembossing of the butterfly in the 3rd Sub-tip.

[@WithloveChristina]

@CatharineJhonass Ah right! That is a clip mask. First, use the pen tool to draw a shape along the outline of the butterfly. (Make sure the shape is lying over the photograph). Second, select both the shape and the photograph underneath, right click, and choose ‘Make clipping mask’. That will cut out/crop out only the butterfly. Hope that helps!
