Free – Torn paper brush set
May 22, 2008A bumper set of 28 torn paper brushes both high and low res. Great when used as an eraser to distress your clean edged images.
You can use the small speckly brushes in the set to create your own torn edges. Here’s how..
- Set the foreground colour you would like
- Select one of the speckly brushes from the set
- Draw a custom shape with ‘Paths’ selected, not fill
- Right click on the path and selct ‘Fill path’ (use foreground colour)
- Right click on the path again and select ‘Stroke Path’ (select brush from the drop-down)
- Do this 2 or 3 times
- Using the direct selection tool (the black arrow) right click on the path, and select delete path
You should now have a fuzzy ‘torn paper’ edge to your shape.

looks great. thanks!
I’ve downloaded the free brushes thanks, but don’t understand how to use it …
I’ve got element 6.0 and don’t know what you mean by ‘path’ or ‘fill’.
Sorry… P
Not sure if others are having problems downloading this but the link has a space between torn and paper so it doesn’t download properly. Here is the correct link
