Go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu in the <strong>Menu Bar<\/strong> at the top of the screen, choose <strong>New<\/strong>, and then choose <strong>Layer via Copy<\/strong>. Or, for a faster way to duplicate a layer, press the keyboard shortcut <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-new-layer-via-copy.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the New Layer via Copy command in Photoshop.\" width=\"472\" height=\"167\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Layer &gt; New &gt; Layer via Copy, or press Ctrl+J (Win) \/ Command+J (Mac).<\/div>\n<p>If we look in the Layers panel, we can see that our document now contains two layers. The original Background layer sits on the bottom, while our newly added copy of the Background layer, which Photoshop has automatically named \"Layer 1\", sits above it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-layers-panel.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel in Photoshop after duplicating the Background layer.\" width=\"320\" height=\"250\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A copy of the Background layer appears above the original in the Layers panel.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Add Extra Canvas Space<\/h3>\n<p>Let's give ourselves a bit more room to work by adding a little extra canvas space around the image. Go up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and choose <strong>Canvas Size<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-image-canvas-size.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Canvas Size command from the Image menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"214\" height=\"243\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Image &gt; Canvas Size.<\/div>\n<p>This brings up Photoshop's Canvas Size dialog box. I'm going to add an extra 100 pixels around the image by entering <strong>100<\/strong> for both the <strong>Width<\/strong> and <strong>Height<\/strong> options in the center of the dialog box and making sure the measurement type is set to <strong>pixels<\/strong> for both. Also make sure the <strong>Relative<\/strong> option is checked so the extra space is added to the existing canvas, otherwise we'll be changing the canvas size to 100 x 100 pixels, which isn't what we want. Click the <strong>center square<\/strong> in the <strong>Anchor<\/strong> grid so that the extra space is added evenly around all edges of the canvas:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-canvas-size.gif\" alt=\"The Canvas Size dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"489\" height=\"360\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Add extra space around the image with the Canvas Size dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to exit out of the Canvas Size dialog box. If we look at the image in the document window, we can see that we now have extra space around the image. We'll be trimming away the extra space when we're finished creating the torn edges effect. This is simply to give us some extra room to work with the Eraser Tool, which we'll be using in a moment:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/image-extra-canvas-space.jpg\" alt=\"The extra canvas space has been added around the image.\" width=\"570\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The extra canvas space has been added.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Add A New Blank Layer Between The Two Existing Layers<\/h3>\n<p>With \"Layer 1\" selected in the Layers panel (it should be highlighted in blue), hold down your <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command<\/strong> (Mac) key and click on the <strong>New Layer<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-new-layer-icon.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the New Layer icon in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"320\" height=\"257\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold down Ctrl (Win) \/ Command (Mac) and click on the New Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>Normally, Photoshop adds new layers directly above the currently selected layer, but by holding down the Ctrl \/ Command key as we click on the New Layer icon, we tell Photoshop to add the new layer <em>below<\/em> the selected layer. We now have a new blank layer named &quot;Layer 2&quot; sitting between the Background layer and &quot;Layer 1&quot;.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-new-blank-layer.gif\" alt=\"A new blank layer appears in the Layers panel.\" width=\"320\" height=\"321\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new blank layer appears between the Background layer and \"Layer 1\".<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Fill The New Layer With White<\/h3>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and choose <strong>Fill<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/edit-fill.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Fill command from the Edit menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"267\" height=\"174\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Edit &gt; Fill.<\/div>\n<p>This brings up Photoshop's Fill dialog box, which we can use to fill a layer or a selection with color. Choose <strong>White<\/strong> for the <strong>Use<\/strong> option in the Contents section at the top of the dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-fill-command.gif\" alt=\"The Fill command dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"371\" height=\"255\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Set the Use option to White.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to exit out of the dialog box. Photoshop fills the new layer with white, although we can't actually see it in the document window since the image on \"Layer 1\" above it is blocking the new layer from view. However, if we look at the<strong> layer preview thumbnail<\/strong> for &quot;Layer 2&quot; in the Layers panel, we can see that the thumbnail is now filled with white, which tells us that the layer itself is  filled with white:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-layer-preview-thumbnail.gif\" alt=\"The layer preview thumbnail for 'Layer 2'.\" width=\"320\" height=\"321\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The preview thumbnails in the Layers panel give us a preview of the contents of each layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Select \"Layer 1\"<\/h3>\n<p>We're ready to begin creating the torn edges effect, but first, we need to make sure we're working on the correct layer. At the moment, we have \"Layer 2\" selected, which we know because \"Layer 2\" is highlighted in blue in the Layers panel. We need to be working on the image on \"Layer 1\", so click on \"Layer 1\" to make it the currently active layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/select-layer-1.gif\" alt=\"Clicking on 'Layer 1' in the Layers panel to select it.\" width=\"320\" height=\"321\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on &quot;Layer 1&quot; to select it.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Select The Eraser Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Select Photoshop's <strong>Eraser Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel. You can also quickly select the Eraser Tool by pressing the letter <strong>E<\/strong> on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-eraser-tool.gif\" alt=\"The Eraser Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"79\" height=\"133\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select the Eraser Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 7: Select The 100 Rough Round Bristle Brush<\/h3>\n<p>We can use any of Photoshop's brushes with the Eraser Tool, just as we could if we were using the actual Brush Tool. Click on the <strong>Brushes panel toggle icon<\/strong> in the Options Bar at the top of the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/brushes-panel-toggle-icon.gif\" alt=\"The Brushes panel toggle icon in the Options Bar in Photoshop.\" width=\"428\" height=\"53\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Brushes panel toggle icon opens and closes the Brushes panel.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Brushes panel. Click on the <strong>menu icon<\/strong> in the top right corner of the Brushes panel to bring up a list of menu options for the panel. I'm using Photoshop CS4 here. In earlier versions of Photoshop, the menu icon looks like a small arrow. When the menu appears, select<strong> Large List<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/brushes-panel-menu.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the menu icon for the Brushes panel.\" width=\"376\" height=\"355\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Each panel in Photoshop has a menu with various options to choose from.<\/div>\n<p>This changes how the brushes are displayed in the Brushes panel, making it easier to see exactly which brush we're selecting. With the brushes now displayed in the Large List format, scroll down to the bottom of the list and click on the <strong>100 Rough Round Bristle<\/strong> brush to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/select-100-rough-round-bristle.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the 100 Rough Round Bristle Photoshop brush.\" width=\"448\" height=\"507\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the \"100 Rough Round Bristle\" brush in the Brushes panel to select it.<\/div>\n<p>If you want to switch back to the way the brushes were displayed originally, click  on the Brushes panel's menu icon and select <strong>Small Thumbnail<\/strong> from the list.<\/p>\n<p>Click  again on the <strong>Brushes panel toggle icon<\/strong> in the Options Bar once you've chosen the brush to close out of the Brushes panel.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Erase Around The Edges Of The Image<\/h3>\n<p>Let's begin by creating our initial torn edges effect along the left side of the image. I say \"initial\" because once we've worked our way around the entire image once, we're going to go back around a second time, but we'll get to that later. Position the Eraser Tool so that it's in the top left corner of the document with only about 25-30% of the brush  extending in to the image. The rest of the brush should be outside of the image in the white space we added back in the beginning of the tutorial. Click once, then with your mouse button still held down, drag  a short brush stroke down along the upper left edge of the image. You'll see sections of the edge being erased away as you drag, creating the beginning of our torn edges effect:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/drag-first-stroke.jpg\" alt=\"Erasing part of the edge of the image with the Eraser Tool.\" width=\"557\" height=\"443\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag out a small brush stroke along the upper left edge of the image.<\/div>\n<p>As we can see in the screenshot above, the initial brush stroke didn't completely remove the initial straight edge. There's still a faint part of it visible, and that's due to the shape of the bristle brush we're using. You'll probably need to go back over the same area two or three times before the straight edge is completely gone.<\/p>\n<p>Continue working your way down the left side of the image by clicking and dragging out short brush strokes, always keeping 70-75% of the brush shape outside of the image in the white area so we don't erase too much of the edge. If you make a mistake and need to undo your last brush stroke, press <strong>Ctrl+Z <\/strong>(Win) \/ <strong>Command+Z<\/strong> (Mac) to undo it, or press <strong>Ctrl+Alt+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Option+Z<\/strong> (Mac) repeatedly to undo multiple brush strokes:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/continue-left.jpg\" alt=\"Erasing more of the left edge of the image with the Eraser Tool.\" width=\"303\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Continue working your way down the left side of the image with short brush strokes.<\/div>\n<p>If you find that the default brush size is too large for your image, you can change the size of the brush on the fly with the left and right bracket keys. Press the <strong>left bracket key <\/strong>(<strong> [ <\/strong>)  to make the brush smaller, or press the <strong>right bracket key <\/strong>(<strong> ] <\/strong>) to make it larger.<\/p>\n<p>Once you reach the bottom left corner of the photo, continue moving around the rest of the image until you're back in the top left corner where you began. When you're done, your edges should look something like this:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/torn-edges-1.jpg\" alt=\"The initial torn edges effect is complete.\" width=\"570\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The initial torn edges effect.<\/div>\n<h3><span>Step 9:<\/span> Duplicate The Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Now that we have our initial torn edges effect, we need to make a copy of the layer. With &quot;Layer 1&quot; selected in the Layers panel, press <strong>Ctrl+J <\/strong>(Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) to quickly duplicate it. We now have a copy of the layer, which Photoshop has appropriately named &quot;Layer 1 copy&quot;, at the top of the Layers panel. Normally, we should be renaming layers to avoid seeing names like &quot;Layer 1 copy&quot;, but since this effect is fairly simple and we have all the layers we need at this point, we'll leave them with their default names to save time:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/layer-1-copy.gif\" alt=\"A copy of 'Layer 1' appears in the Layers panel.\" width=\"320\" height=\"318\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A copy of &quot;Layer 1&quot; appears above the original.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 10: Turn The Top Layer Off<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the top layer's <strong>visibility icon<\/strong> (also known as the \"eyeball\") to temporarily turn the layer off and hide it from view in the document window so we can see the original \"Layer 1\" below it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/layer-visibility-icon.gif\" alt=\"The layer visibility icon in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"331\" height=\"318\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the \"eyeball\" icon turns layers on and off in the document.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 11: Select \"Layer 1\"<\/h3>\n<p>With the top layer now hidden from view temporarily, click once again on \"Layer 1\" in the Layers panel to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/selecting-layer-1.gif\" alt=\"Selecting 'Layer 1' in the Layers panel.\" width=\"320\" height=\"318\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on \"Layer 1\" to select it.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 12: Add A Color Overlay Layer Style<\/h3>\n<p>With \"Layer 1\" selected, click on the <strong>Layer Styles<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose <strong>Color Overlay<\/strong> from the list that appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-layer-styles.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a Color Overlay layer style from the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"320\" height=\"323\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose Color Overlay from the list of layer styles.<\/div>\n<p>This brings up Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set to the Color Overlay options in the middle column. By default, Photoshop sets the color of the overlay to red, and your photo will suddenly be filled with red in the document window. To change the color, click on the <strong>color swatch<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/color-overlay-options.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a different color for the Color Overlay layer style.\" width=\"371\" height=\"184\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the color swatch to choose a different color for the overlay.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop's <strong>Color Picker<\/strong> will appear. Choose a <strong>light gray<\/strong> from the Color Picker, then click OK to exit out of it. Your photo should now be filled with light gray in the document window:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-color-picker.jpg\" alt=\"The Color Picker in Photoshop.\" width=\"577\" height=\"369\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose a light gray from the Color Picker.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 13: Add An Inner Glow Layer Style<\/h3>\n<p>Don't close out of the Layer Style dialog box just yet. We still have a couple more layer styles to add. Click directly on the words <strong>Inner Glow<\/strong> on the left side of the dialog box. Don't simply click inside the checkbox to the left of the words. We need to click directly on the words themselves to access the options for the Inner Glow style:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/select-inner-glow.gif\" alt=\"Selecting an Inner Glow layer style in Photoshop.\" width=\"212\" height=\"269\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click directly on the words \"Inner Glow\" on the left of the Layer Style dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>The Inner Glow options now appear in the center of the Layer Style dialog box. Even though the name of the style is Inner Glow, we're going to change the glow to a shadow so we can use it to darken the edges around the photo a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>First, to change the style from a glow to a shadow, change the <strong>Blend Mode<\/strong> option at the top of the dialog box from Screen to <strong>Multiply<\/strong>. Then click on the small <strong>color swatch<\/strong> directly below the word \"Noise\" to change the color of the style. By default, it's set to yellow. When you click on the color swatch, Photoshop's <strong>Color Picker<\/strong> will appear, just as it did when we changed the color of the Color Overlay style a moment ago. Select <strong>black<\/strong> from the Color Picker, then click OK to exit out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Lower the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> down to around <strong>10%<\/strong> so the shadow is very subtle. Finally, increase the <strong>Size<\/strong> of the shadow to around <strong>24 px<\/strong> (pixels):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/inner-glow-options.gif\" alt=\"Changing the options for the Inner Glow layer style in Photoshop.\" width=\"374\" height=\"318\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the glow to a shadow is as easy as changing the blend mode to Multiply and choosing black for the color.<\/div>\n<p>Your image should now look similar to this:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/image-overlay-shadow.jpg\" alt=\"The image after applying the Color Overlay and Inner Glow layer styles.\" width=\"570\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image so far after applying the Color Overlay and Inner Glow layer styles.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 14: Add A Drop Shadow<\/h3>\n<p>Click directly on the words <strong>Drop Shadow<\/strong> at the top of the list of layer styles on the left of the dialog box. Again, we need to click directly on the words themselves to access the options for the Drop Shadow:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/select-drop-shadow.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a Drop Shadow layer style in Photoshop.\" width=\"208\" height=\"269\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click directly on the words \"Drop Shadow\" on the left of the Layer Style dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>The Drop Shadow options will appear in the center column of the Layer Style dialog box. Lower the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> of the shadow down to around <strong>30%<\/strong> so it's much less intense than it is with the default opacity setting of 75%. Then set the Angle of the shadow to <strong>120&deg;<\/strong> if it isn't set to that already:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/drop-shadow-options.gif\" alt=\"Changing the options for the Drop Shadow in the Layer Styles dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"371\" height=\"234\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Set the Opacity of the drop shadow to 30% and the Angle to 120&deg;.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to exit out of the Layer Style dialog box. Here's my image after applying the drop shadow:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/image-drop-shadow.jpg\" alt=\"The image after applying the drop shadow in Photoshop.\" width=\"570\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after adding all three layer styles.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 15: Select The Top Layer And Turn It Back On<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the top layer in the Layers panel (\"Layer 1 copy\") to select it, then click on the <strong>layer visibility icon<\/strong> on the left of the layer to turn the layer back on so it's visible  again inside the document window. The photo will once again appear and will block the gray-filled image that we were just working on from view:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/photoshop-show-layer.gif\" alt=\"Turning the layer back on in the Layers panel.\" width=\"331\" height=\"318\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the layer visibility icon once again to turn the top layer back on.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 16: Erase Parts Of The Edges On The Top Layer To Reveal The Layer Below<\/h3>\n<p>With the top layer selected, go back around the edges of the image with the Eraser Tool using short brush strokes, just as we did initially on &quot;Layer 1&quot;, to remove more of the edge. Remember to keep most of the brush shape outside of the image so that no more than 25-30% of it extends into the image. As parts of the edge are erased, the light gray image  below it is revealed, creating the illusion that the photo itself has worn off around the edges and only the back layer of the paper remains:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/torn-edges\/second-pass-1.jpg\" alt=\"Erasing more of the edge to reveal the light gray on the layer below the image.\" width=\"344\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Erasing the edges of the image on the top layer reveals the light gray area on \"Layer 1\" below it.<\/div>\n<p>Again, you can change the size of the brush if needed by pressing the <strong>left bracket key<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) to make it smaller or the <strong>right bracket key<\/strong> ( <strong>]<\/strong> ) to make it larger.
