How to Make a Ripped Paper Edge in Photoshop | Adobe Creative Cloud

Create the appearance of torn paper using custom selections, layer styles, and clipping masks.
Start from scratch, or download practice files [adobe.ly/31R7NHu] for a head start. Steps below.
Tear it up:
1. Open the model photo in Photoshop (File - Open).
2. Use the Lasso (L) tool to draw a jagged edge across the model’s face.
3. Trace along the right, bottom, and left side of the image to close the selection.
Mask a selection:
1. Click the Add layer mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel (Window - Layers).
2. Click the Create a new layer icon in the Layers panel to create a layer for the paper edge.
3. With the new layer selected, Control+click (Windows) or Command+click (macOS) on the mask of the Model layer to make a selection.
4. Use the Paint Bucket (G) to fill the new layer with white.
5. Hold Control+D (Windows) or Command+D (macOS) to deselect the new layer.
6. Drag the new layer below the Model layer.
Make a paper edge:
1. Use the Move (V) tool to drag the paper edge up so it peeks out just above the model.
2. Still on the paper edge layer, select the Warp tool (Edit - Transform - Warp).
3. Drag the top handles to customize the shape of the ripped edge so it looks less uniform and more natural. Press Enter or Return to commit the changes.
4. Double-click the paper edge layer to bring up the Layer Style dialog.
5. Click the Drop Shadow label and adjust the settings to get the look you want. Click OK.
Tip: We set Opacity to 27%, Angle to -63, Distance to 13, and Size to 24.
6. Drag the paper texture image from the exercise files to the open document.
Tip: Use the corner handles to resize the paper texture if needed.
7. Drag the paper texture layer so it is just above the paper edge layer.
8. Hold Alt (or Option) as you click between the layers to clip the paper texture to the paper edge.
Add to the composition:
1. Drag the flowers image from the practice files into the open document.
2. Move the flowers layer to the bottom to complete the composition.
That's it!

Whoever edits these deserves a raise asap

[@PratikParija]

Now this is how tuts should be. So simple & straight forward!

[@the1upa]

Love how this is a minute. Other KZbin tutorials take at least 10 minutes to explain this

[@speel1959]

I wish more videos were supplied this way, nice stuff indeed.

[@jonmallory5169]

I have to echo others who have commented here in that this is the way tutorials should be made. Direct and to the point. I got more in 1:25 than in other long-winded 8 min plus tuts. I subscribed because the content is top shelf and also so that I won't miss one these tuts. Well done mate.

[@mashable8759]

I already know how to make it but the video is so satisfying to watch :3

[@hasanmahmud7029]

Too good! Thanks a lot. Not gonna miss any video of this series!

[@rjhowtos4130]

Wow thanks for this lovely video, just learned something new

[@ken-fv9cz]

[@veselinvasilev9362]

[@MAKO0MAKO0]

[@mixturadu1408]

loooove ooouuu!

[@chingsdiary5360]

this is as what i thought!

[@MrJmaafly1]

good exercise ( 👍)

[@dineshm8368]

Nice

[@alang6402]

Trouble is that the rip surface should be torn and not like the texture of the surface of a sheet of paper.

[@SparkieNeisti]

It could do with some tweaking, but a good starting point for beginners.

[@MuzikkZone]

👍👍

[@ufospottedd]

0:50 how do you add that layer bro ???? Paper texture please tell me

[@sten6420]

Very nice, but the Alt+Click doesnt work anymore, was it changed?

[@AdobeCreativeCloud]

Hi there. Could you please let us know which Adobe app you're referring to here? We're here to help, just need some info. ^TS

[@GeorgePlum]

⁠@@AdobeCreativeCloudHi I had the same problem I am currently using Photoshop

[@ryanniannotti3815]

same :( have you figured it out?@@GeorgePlum

[@satan69]

i might be able to help, the problem might be that you arent positioned exactly between the two layers. your cursor should change, i believe, when its in the right place

[@morayoworks9758]

Where are all these drop shadow options?

[@jaythegod23]

paint tool not working for me.

[@DanielLeeMarch2001]

Hey, Adobe can you guys help me? My paint bucket isn’t working. It was previously. What could be causing this? It isn’t filling the layer (the model’s face) with the white colour. When I click on it, and then click on the highlighted woman’s face it doesn’t do anything…. Would much appreciate some help. Thanks!

[@Jak99e]

Bro I’m having the same issue, have you figured it out yet?

[@DanielLeeMarch2001]

I quickly gave up my ambitions of being a KZbinr 😂

[@hristiyanaleksandrov198]

Lol I can't open the jpeg files, someone with the same problem?

[@EMvanLoon]

Nice how this is a under-a-minute video, but less nice that it is half self promotion...

[@vinayakchawla2046]

[@elie7708]

Stealing ideas from PicsArt I see

[@thewalkinghourglassheart8799]
