Not sure if I'm in the right forum, but if anyone can help...
How can I create a realistic "scratch through paper" effect like the link below and apply it to a photograph?

P.S. I am using Photoshop 7.0, if anyone knows of a tut?? Thanksss.

The thing is, with a photograph, you're taking something realistic, and adding something that isn't. It's a bit harder to achieve. With the example link that you posted, they are just using text, which is easier to manipulate. It can still be done, but should be done on a smaller scale, and to retain the integrity of the photograph the scratches should look somewhat realistic. You could probably best achieve a tear by using a small hard brush edge for white, and then a hard edged eraser. Use a few photographs try to make tears in them to be able to copy them in photoshop.

P.S. I'm not trying to get on anyone's bad side, but Joseph that was just stupid. You'll do better by helping than by being a jerk here.
