We\u2019ll use guides and selections to create the folded sections of the image, along with some gradients, a layer blend mode, and one of Photoshop\u2019s filters to add highlights and shadows. We'll even use a custom brush to  give the fold lines a worn out appearance. This version of the tutorial has been fully updated for <strong>Photoshop CS6<\/strong> (the version I'll be using here) and is also fully compatible with <strong>Photoshop CC<\/strong> (Creative Cloud).

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\/cs6\/folds-creases\/new-layer-icon.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the New Layer icon in the Layers panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"266\" height=\"276\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the New Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>Since our new layer is blank, it won't look like anything has happened in the document. But if we look in the <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\">Layers panel<\/a>, we see that Photoshop has added a new blank layer named &quot;Layer 1&quot; above the original image on the <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/background-layer\/\">Background layer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/new-layer-1.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the newly added blank layer. .\" width=\"266\" height=\"197\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the newly added layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Turn On The Rulers<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we'll drag out some horizontal and vertical guides to help us out. Before we can do that, though, we first need to have Photoshop's rulers turned on. Go up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen and choose <strong>Rulers<\/strong>. You can also turn  the rulers on by pressing <strong>Ctrl+R<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+R<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/view-rulers.gif\" alt=\"Selecting Rulers from the View menu in Photoshop. .\" width=\"248\" height=\"150\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to View > Rulers.<\/div>\n<p>The rulers will appear along the top and left of the document:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/photoshop-rulers-on.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop rulers appear on the top and left of the document. \" width=\"643\" height=\"399\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The rulers are displayed above and to the left of the image.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Drag Out Two Vertical Guides<\/h3>\n<p>Now that we've turned on the rulers, we can drag out our guides. Click anywhere inside the ruler on the left, and with your mouse button still held down, begin dragging towards the right. You'll see a <strong>vertical guide<\/strong> emerge from the ruler. Drag the guide to roughly a third of the way across the image, then release your mouse button to place the guide. Don't worry about getting the placement exactly right. As long as it's close to being one third of the way across, you're good. If you need to, you can click on the guide once you've added it and drag it left or right to reposition it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/first-vertical-guide.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging out a vertical guide in Photoshop. \" width=\"643\" height=\"392\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click in the left ruler and drag out a vertical guide a third of the way across the image.<\/div>\n<p>Click again inside the ruler on the left and,  with your mouse button still held down, drag out a second vertical guide, placing this one roughly two thirds of the way across the image. Again, you can click and drag the guide to reposition it if needed once you've added it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/second-vertical-guide.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging out a second vertical guide in Photoshop. \" width=\"643\" height=\"392\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag out a second vertical guide, placing it two thirds of the way across the image.<\/div>\n<p>Finally, click anywhere inside the ruler along the top and, with your mouse button still held down, drag out a horizontal guide, placing this one in the middle of the image. When you're done, you should have two vertical guides and one horizontal guide dividing the image into six roughly equal sections:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/horizontal-guide.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging out a horizontal guide in Photoshop. \" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag out a horizontal guide from the top ruler, placing it halfway down the image.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Select The Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Select the <strong>Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel, or press the letter <strong>M<\/strong> on your keyboard to quickly grab it with the shortcut:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/rectangular-marquee-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the Tools panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"73\" height=\"154\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Rectangular Marquee Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Drag A Selection Outline Around The First Section<\/h3>\n<p>With the <a href=\"\/basics\/selections\/rectangular-marquee-tool\/\">Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/a> selected, drag out a selection outline around the first section (the one in the top left of the image). The selection will snap to the guides:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/selection-top-left.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing a rectangular selection around the top left section. \" width=\"396\" height=\"376\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Draw a rectangular selection around the first section in the top left corner of the image.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Select The Gradient Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Select the <strong>Gradient Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel, or press the letter <strong>G<\/strong> on your keyboard to select it with the shortcut (the keyboard shortcuts for the Rectangular Marquee Tool and the Gradient Tool will come in handy in a moment):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/photoshop-gradient-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Gradient Tool from the Tools panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"70\" height=\"137\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Gradient Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 7: Select The Black, White Gradient<\/h3>\n<p>With the Gradient Tool selected, <strong>right-click<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Control-click <\/strong>(Mac) anywhere inside the document window to quickly open Photoshop's <strong>Gradient Picker<\/strong>, then select the <strong>Black, White<\/strong> gradient by double-clicking on its thumbnail (third thumbnail from the left, top row). Double-clicking on the thumbnail will select the gradient and close you out of the Gradient Picker:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/photoshop-gradient-picker.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing a gradient from the Gradient Picker in Photoshop. .\" width=\"262\" height=\"168\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking on the Black, White gradient's thumbnail.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 8: Draw A Black To White Gradient Across The Selection<\/h3>\n<p>With the Gradient Tool in hand and the Black, White gradient chosen from the Gradient Picker, click and drag out a black to white gradient inside the selection. I'm going to drag mine diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right corner:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/first-gradient.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing a diagonal black to white gradient. \" width=\"394\" height=\"389\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drawing a black to white gradient inside the selection.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 9: Draw A Selection Outline Around The Next Section<\/h3>\n<p>Switch back to the <strong>Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/strong> by pressing the letter <strong>M<\/strong> on your keyboard, then drag out a selection around the next section (the one in the top center):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/second-selection.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing a selection outline around the top center section of the image. \" width=\"637\" height=\"293\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging out a selection outline around the top middle section.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 10: Draw A Black To White Gradient Across The Selection In A Different Direction<\/h3>\n<p>Press the letter <strong>G<\/strong> on your keyboard to quickly switch to the <strong>Gradient Tool<\/strong>, then click and drag out a black to white gradient inside this second selection. Make sure you draw this one in a different direction, though, so both gradients look different. This will add variety to our lighting effect, as we'll see shortly:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/second-gradient.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing a second black to white gradient in the document. \" width=\"637\" height=\"302\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drawing the second gradient at a different angle than the first one.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 11: Repeat Steps 9 And 10 For The Remaining Sections<\/h3>\n<p>We need to do the same thing for all six of the sections, but it's just a matter of repeating the same couple of steps for each one. First, press the letter <strong>M<\/strong> on your keyboard to switch to the <strong>Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/strong> and drag out a selection outline around the section, then press the letter <strong>G<\/strong> on your keyboard to switch to the <strong>Gradient Tool<\/strong> and draw a black to white gradient inside the selection, drawing each gradient at a different angle to add variety. When you're done, you should have a gradient across each section. Press <strong>Ctrl+D<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+D<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard after you've drawn the final gradient to remove the selection outline around it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/six-gradients.jpg\" alt=\"A black to white gradient appears in each section of the image. \" width=\"639\" height=\"433\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Each section should have its own black to white gradient.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 12: Hide The Rulers And Guides<\/h3>\n<p>We don't need the rulers or guides anymore, so to hide the rulers, either go back up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and reselect <strong>Rulers<\/strong>, or press <strong>Ctrl+R<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+R<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard. To hide the guides, go up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu, choose <strong>Show<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Guides<\/strong>, or press <strong>Ctrl+;<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+;<\/strong> (Mac) to turn them off from the keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/view-show-guides.gif\" alt=\"Turning off the guides by going to the View menu, choosing Show, then choosing Guides. .\" width=\"204\" height=\"123\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to View > Show > Guides to hide the guides when they're visible on the screen.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 13: Change The Blend Mode To Soft Light<\/h3>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Blend Mode<\/strong> option in the top left corner of the Layers panel and change the blend mode of the gradients layer from Normal (the default setting) to <strong>Soft Light<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/soft-light-blend-mode.gif\" alt=\"Changing the blend mode of the layer to Soft Light. .\" width=\"282\" height=\"250\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Change the blend mode of Layer 1 to Soft Light.<\/div>\n<p>This turns our gradients into a series of highlights and shadows in the image, and we can start to see our \"folds and creases\" effect taking shape:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/image-soft-light.jpg\" alt=\"The image after changing the blend mode of the layer to Soft Light. .\" width=\"638\" height=\"427\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after changing the blend mode to Soft Light.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 14: Apply The Plastic Wrap Filter<\/h3>\n<p>To bring out the fold lines a bit more, we'll use Photoshop's Plastic Wrap filter. Go up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and choose <strong>Filter Gallery<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/choose-filter-gallery.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Filter Gallery. .\" width=\"256\" height=\"152\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Filter > Filter Gallery.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the  large <strong>Filter Gallery dialog box<\/strong>, made up of three columns, the largest of which is the preview area on the left. Directly to the right of the preview area, in the center column, is where we choose the filter(s) we want to apply. Click on the word <strong>Artistic<\/strong> to twirl open the Artistic category, then choose the <strong>Plastic Wrap<\/strong> filter by clicking on its thumbnail to highlight it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/artistic-plastic-wrap.gif\" alt=\"Choosing the Plastic Wrap filter in the Filter gallery .\" width=\"295\" height=\"459\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Twirl open the Artistic category and choose Plastic Wrap.<\/div>\n<p> The options for the Plastic Wrap filter are found at the top of the  column on the right. Set the <strong>Highlight Strength<\/strong> to <strong>20<\/strong> and <strong>Smoothness<\/strong> to <strong>15<\/strong> by dragging both sliders all the way to the right. Then set the <strong>Detail<\/strong> option to somewhere between 5 and 10. The higher you set the Detail value, the tighter the effect will appear around the fold lines, so keep an eye on the large preview window on the left as you drag the slider and choose the value you think works best. I'm going to set my Detail value to 10:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/plastic-wrap-options.gif\" alt=\"The Plastic Wrap filter options in Filter Gallery. .\" width=\"280\" height=\"218\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Plastic Wrap filter options.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to close out of the Filter Gallery.

Select Photoshop's <strong>Brush Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel, or press the letter <strong>B<\/strong> to select it with the keyboard shortcut:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/photoshop-brush-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Brush Tool in Photoshop. .\" width=\"73\" height=\"140\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Brush Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 17: Choose A Spatter Brush From The Brush Picker<\/h3>\n<p>With the Brush Tool selected, <strong>right-click<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Control-click<\/strong> (Mac) anywhere inside the document window to quickly open the <strong>Brush Picker<\/strong> and choose the <strong>Spatter 59 pixels<\/strong> brush by double-clicking on its thumbnail, which will select the brush and close you out of the Brush Picker (if you have Tools Tips enabled in Photoshop's Preferences, you'll see the name of the brush appear when you hover your mouse cursor over the thumbnail):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/choose-spatter-59px-brush.gif\" alt=\"Choosing a brush from the Brush Picker in Photoshop. .\" width=\"271\" height=\"274\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking on the Spatter 59 pixels brush to select it.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 18: Open The Brushes Panel And Select The Brush Tip Shape Options<\/h3>\n<p>With the brush chosen, click on the <strong>Brush panel icon<\/strong> near the far left of the Options Bar along the top of the screen to toggle Photoshop's main Brush panel open:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/brush-panel-toggle.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the Brush panel icon in the Options Bar. .\" width=\"401\" height=\"68\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Brush panel icon in the Options Bar.<\/div>\n<p>Click on the words <strong>Brush Tip Shape<\/strong> in the upper left corner of the panel, then set the <strong>Roundness<\/strong> of the brush to <strong>10%<\/strong> and increase the <strong>Spacing<\/strong> to <strong>50%<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/photoshop-brush-panel.gif\" alt=\"The Brush Tip Shape options in the Brushes Panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"450\" height=\"613\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Setting Roundness to 10% and Spacing to 50% in the Brush Tip Shape section.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 19: Select The Shape Dynamics Options<\/h3>\n<p>Along the left side of the Brush panel is a column listing various brush option categories (Shape Dynamics, Scattering, Texture, etc). Before we go any further, make sure none of these categories are selected by unchecking any of them that have a checkmark beside their name. Then, click directly on the words <strong>Shape Dynamics<\/strong> at the top of the left column to view the various Shape Dynamics options in the main part of the Brushes panel. Make sure you click directly on the words \"Shape Dynamics\". Don't click in the checkbox beside the words, otherwise you'll just turn the category on without gaining access to any of the actual Shape Dynamics options.<\/p>\n<p>Increase the <strong>Size Jitter<\/strong> value  to 100% by dragging the slider all the way to the right, then set the <strong> Control<\/strong> option direcly under the <strong>Angle Jitter<\/strong> slider to <strong>Direction<\/strong>. Don't close out of the panel just yet because we still have one more category to select:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/shape-dynamics.gif\" alt=\"The Shape Dynamics options in the Brushes Panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"451\" height=\"348\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Setting Size Jitter to 100% and Angle Control to Direction in the Shape Dynamics options.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 20: Select The Dual Brush Options<\/h3>\n<p>Click directly on the words <strong>Dual Brush<\/strong> in the column along the left to switch over to the Dual Brush options in the main part of the Brush panel. These options allow us to blend a second brush in with our original one. Select the <strong>Spatter 27 pixels<\/strong> brush by clicking on its thumbnail, then change the <strong> Mode<\/strong> at the top of the Brush panel to <strong>Multiply<\/strong>. Finally, increase the <strong>Size<\/strong> of the brush to around <strong>55 px<\/strong> and the <strong>Spacing<\/strong> to around <strong>55%<\/strong>. When you're done, you can close out of the Brush panel either by pressing the same <strong>Brush panel icon<\/strong> in the Options Bar or by pressing <strong>F5<\/strong> on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/dual-brush-options.gif\" alt=\"The Dual Brush options in the Brushes Panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"452\" height=\"438\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choosing the Spatter 27 pixels brush, setting the Blend Mode to Multiply, Size to 55 px and Spacing to 55%.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 21: Set Your Foreground Color To White<\/h3>\n<p>We need our brush color to be <strong>white<\/strong>, and Photoshop uses the current <strong>Foreground color<\/strong> as the brush color, which means we need to make sure our Foreground color is set to white before we start painting. The easiest way to do that is to first press the letter <strong>D<\/strong> on your keyboard, which will reset the Foreground and Background colors to their defaults (making the Foreground color black and the Background color white). Then press the letter <strong>X<\/strong> on your keyboard to swap the colors, which makes the Foreground color white. You can see the current Foreground and Background colors in the <strong>color swatches<\/strong> near the bottom of the Tools panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/foreground-color-swatch.gif\" alt=\"The Foreground and Background color swatches in the Tools panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"66\" height=\"175\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Foreground color (upper left) swatch should be white.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 22: Paint Across The Fold Lines<\/h3>\n<p>We're ready to paint in our wear and tear lines, but rather than painting brush strokes manually, <strong>click<\/strong> with your brush directly above the first vertical fold line (the one on the left). Don't click and drag, just click:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/brush-click-1.jpg\" alt=\"Click with the brush directly below the first vertical fold line. .\" width=\"490\" height=\"391\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click directly above the first vertical fold line.<\/div>\n<p>Then, hold down your <strong>Shift<\/strong> key and click directly below the same fold line. Photoshop will automatically draw a brush stroke in a straight line between the two points you clicked on. You'll see a thin white brush stroke running down along the fold line, giving it a worn out appearance:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/brush-click-2.jpg\" alt=\"Click with the brush directly below the first vertical fold line. .\" width=\"224\" height=\"600\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Holding Shift and clicking directly below the same fold line to paint a straight brush stroke between the two points.<\/div>\n<p>If the angle or position of your brush stroke looks a little off, simply press <strong>Ctrl+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Z<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard to undo it, then try again. To increase the intensity of the wear and tear effect, add a few more brush strokes over top of the first one. Changing the size of your brush with each stroke will add more variety. Pressing the <strong>left bracket key<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) on your keyboard will make the brush smaller. Pressing the <strong>right bracket key<\/strong> ( ] ) will make it larger. Just click above the fold line, then hold down your Shift key and click below the fold line to add each new brush stroke:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/first-fold.jpg\" alt=\"Adding brush strokes to the first fold line. .\" width=\"282\" height=\"597\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after adding several brush strokes to the first vertical fold line.<\/div>\n<p>Repeat the same steps with the second vertical fold line to paint a few brush strokes across it, then do the same thing with the horizontal fold line, clicking  with the brush to the left of the line, then holding Shift and clicking to the right of the line. If it helps, you can turn the guides back on by pressing <strong>Ctrl+;<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+;<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard which may make it easier to line things up. Press the keyboard shortcut again to turn them back off. Here's my image after adding the brush strokes across all three fold lines:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/all-strokes-added.jpg\" alt=\"Brush strokes have been added across all three fold lines. .\" width=\"640\" height=\"429\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after adding the brush strokes.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 23: Lower The Layer Opacity (Optional)<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, if the brush strokes look a little too white and intense, you can fade them more into the image by lowering the layer's opacity. You'll find the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> option directly across from the Blend Mode option at the top of the layer's panel. By default, opacity is set to 100%. I'm going to reduce mine to 65%:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/folds-creases\/opacity-65.gif\" alt=\"The layer opacity option in the Layers panel in Photoshop. .\" width=\"266\" height=\"188\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lowering the top layer's opacity.<\/div>\n<p>And with that, we're done!
