Hey folks

I already went to the exchange…but couldnt find what i was looking for….so i thought i would come here for some help.

I am looking for an action or style or whatever to create a decent torn paper effect (my client wanted a torn newspaper acticle for a presentation).

i have done this in the past….but have somehow lost the action that gave me the desired effect (and cant find any samples in our disorganized graphics library).

I know this is an easy one…..so thanks in advance

well….i finaly gave that TUT a run thru today……and while its ok…SOMETHING is missing. There just seems to be some missing step between the "torn" selection and the layer mask step.

I finaly did an inverse and got rid of the stuff on the "paper" layer…….and then made the mask and used the smudge tool…..but i just seemed to be missisng somthing.

I could be a complete friggen idiot here……..but someone else take this tut and see if they run into the same problem.
