Make a page curl effect In this tutorial we'll see how the page curling effect can be made. Open a picture in Photoshop on which you want to apply the effect. I used this picture of Rodney Mullen. Since we're going to warp the picture, locker background layer is not an option. Duplicate layer (Layer / Duplicate Layer�) and then select the original. Go to Edit / Fill and fill the original background layer with white. Go to Edit / Transform / Warp. It'll divide your picture in certain number of squares. We need this so we can draw guide lines. It's easier to select a corner you want to warp with the guide lines on. Cancel that warp and draw guide lines where the warp borders were. After you add guide lines to the picture, pick Rectangular Marquee Tool and select one of the corners. Now pick the Gradient Tool with the black/white colors for the foreground/background. Add the gradient to that square so that the white is in the corner of the picture. At any point you can hide the guide lines by pressing ctrl+;. Deselect the selection (Selection / Deselect) and again go to Edit / Transform / Warp. Now grab the bottom point and drag it near the center of the picture. For the realistic look we're going to add some shadow. Go to Blending Options and set Drop Shadow on settings you like. I'll go with this: That is it.
Make a selection of the layer by clicking on it in the layers palette while holding the Ctrl key.
