I'm using SnagIt for this. You can use the feature at the time you're doing the capture or when you edit the image.
It's in the Effects > Edge Effects menu, and one of the choices is Torn Edge. From here you can select which edge (top, bottom, left, right), the "torn" size, background color and shadow if you want that depth, etc. HTH, Jing ,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,.-*+*-.,! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Art Campbell" <art.campb...@gmail.com> To: "Gillian Flato" <gflato at nanometrics.com> Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 12:08:50 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: OFF-Topic: ripped paper image SnagIt Editor has this (may be just for borders; I haven't used it), and you can do it with any number of Photoshop frames....
