Making a paper wad in Photoshop CS2. Tut help

I want to make a paper wad; I want to make it so you can kind of see what was on it. Like a photo or a hand written letter.I can’t seam to find any tut out there.

Welcome to DEVPPL!

What do you mean by wad?.. I can think of several meanings including that word.

Thank you.

LOL like a paper wad you would throw in glass just a balled up sheet of notebook paper.

Now, I don't know how advanced you are, but if you are, I'm sure you can work something out from this:

If not, I'll try something later on..

Thanks, that a good starting place for me, I used that effect and then kind of made and out line of a paper wad my final result look cool with a black and white image.
Can’t seam to get it to look right with color one. Thanks for the help.. I’m not that advanced. I haven’t really come up with many of my own techniques but I can usually fallow a tut and add some stuff to it so it’s not just a carbon copy I know my way around but I am not and expert by a long shot. as you can tell from my image lol

nice

I'm thinking one might be able to paint the wad.

1. make a paper

2. Make wad with the lasso tool.

3. Use the burn tool and a soft brush, with a darker tone of the color on the paper, and use theese for mid- and dark shadows. Dodge tool (set to highlights or mid) for highlighting.
Search for a wad on google for a refference picture.
Start painting. I don't think you need the great artistic skills for this you should be able to do it
