In this tutorial, we are going to learn how we can recreate the effect of burnt paper. We are going to use a gradient for colored paper, to give it more texture.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to make a realistic burnt paper effect in Photoshop. This effect is easy to create and looks great! We'll show you how to create the paper as well as the burnt edge in this tutorial, but you can apply it to easily �age� the edges of other images by making them look like they've been burned.
Open the stock photo in Photoshop, be careful though, it's huge! After opening the stock photo, get the Magic Wand Tool and set the following settings: With the Magic Wand Tool selected, click on the white outside area of the stock photo. Invert the selection then copy and paste the scroll onto a new layer. Fill the layer below with black (#000000.) If there is white around the outside of the scroll, be sure you're on the scroll layer then go to Layer > Matting > Remove White Matte. Note that the above image is zoomed out to 12.5%.
Let?s start out by creating a new file. I used a 500?500 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with black color. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Burnt Text Effect'.

Imitating a physical object from scratch might seem very difficult, but we're going to do just that in this tutorial - in a way that's pretty easy to follow! We'll create a piece of burnt parchment that looks incredibly real!
First open up a new document with a transparent background. I used 300x300. Create a new layer. Create a new layer and fill it white. Next take the pencil tool with a 1px size brush and draw the shape of a rectangle with rough edges (your paper) in the middle of your rectangle.
Exit out of Quick Mask Mode, by using the same button. Then what we want to do is create a new layer and fill the selection (Edit > Fill). We will fill with White, but you can use anything that will be underneath the paper, as this fill will be the hole that's burnt out.
7. If you like, you may want to bring up the Brightness/Contrast and do some adjusting. Tweaking the contrast will give your wood a richer, deeper color.
Burnt Wood in Photoshop I've received a few requests to do something about burning material. Today I'm going to create a burned wood effect. Most of this can be accomplished just using Photoshop, but later in the tutorial I'm going to get some help from Eye Candy 4000. 1. Let's start with a new image. 2. Create a new layer. 3. Select a light brown/tan for the foreground color, and a darker brown for the background. 4. Select the Reflected Gradient and fill the new layer from the center to the bottom. 5. Let's add a bit of noise: 6. Now for a motion blur: 7. If you like, you may want to bring up the Brightness/Contrast and do some adjusting. Tweaking the contrast will give your wood a richer, deeper color. 8. Select the magic wand tool and set the tolerance to 15. Click an area in the wood grain to bring up a jagged selection. Go to Filter>Distort>Pinch to give the selection some 'warp'. 9. Now go to Filter>Distort>Twirl: 10. Now enter your text with the Type Mask Tool. You will want to make your type fairly large and thick. Mine is set to 150 points. 11. Go to Layer>New>Layer Via Copy. 12. Apply a bevel with the following settings: 13. Command/CTRL+ Click Layer 2 to bring up your type selection. Contract the selection by 10 pixels. 14. Again, go to Layer>New>Layer Via Copy. 15. Remove the bevel from this layer, and instead apply an inner shadow. 16. Time to get crazy! Duplicate this layer. Create a new layer below it, select the duplicate again and Coomand/CTRL+E to merge them together. Set the merged layer to overlay, and drop the opacity to 50%. 17. Select Layer 3 again. Select the burn tool with a feathered brush. Not too large? I'm using a 27. Color the inlayed text, though do not thouroghly cover it with the tool. Just give the illusion that heat had been applied to the wood at one time or another. 18. You can now go back to the original woodgrain layer and apply some burn there. Keep in mind that the more you drag the burn tool across an area, the darker the burn will appear! Try using some different brushes also? the natural set works well for this work. Here's where Eye Candy 4000 will come in handy. Remember that top layer we set to overlay? If you have Eye Candy 4000, apply some smoke to this layer. Just for fun, make your original type layer active. Select Inverse, and then click on the original wood grain layer. Go to Brightness/Contrast and make the image darker, then go to Hue/Saturation and reduce the saturation. For those of you on your way to Photoshop World, have a great time.
