Cut out your image part using the Polygon selection tool. Hold down the ‘shift’ key and click a series of points arount the part of the image you want. Don’t follow the outline too closely.
Copy then paste onto a new layer. Go to layer effects (layer styles in some cersions) and choose Drop Shadow.

2. how to make those pins, that pin the images (some of them) on that example

Stick some pins into a piece of card at different angles. Place it upside down in your scanner (pins against the glass) Scan it, then copy and paste the appropriate ones into your main image.

3. is there any way to realisticaly make small tears and crimple the paper like it was cut oout from a magazine

Crumple a piece of plain white paper, then open it out and scan it. Copy and paste onto a new layer in your main image, then set the layer mode to ‘hard light’ and play with the opacity setting.

It always amuses me that now we have the means to make perfect, flawless pictures, so many people want to deliberately degrade their images (how to age it, how to crease it, how to fade it, how to stain it etc.) —

Is the time right for my ‘coffee cup ring stain’ and ‘homework partially rescued from the dog’ plug-in?

Don’t hold down the Shift key.
It isn’t necessary with the polygon select tool.
If anyone knows why I included that, please put your answers on a postcard. Winner to be ‘drawn’ next week.
