I know you can easily create this effect with techsmith's Snagit application

I even believe Microsoft word has a similar effect.

but I don't know of a easy way less then a plugin to create this effect

Solution 2

The last time I did something like this (in Corel Photopaint), I actually scanned in a piece of torn paper and used it as the background with a little edge enhancement and shadowing.

How do I create a tear effect at the bottom of a cropped image in Paint.net?

Here's an example of what I'm looking for (I'm just looking to produce the tear along the bottom):

I vaguely remember Windows Live Writer being able to do this with a minimum of fuss.

  I believe the above screen shot was taken with snagit itself

I've used snagit to great effect before for this and been very satisfied.

That's a very cool tool, I've been using WinSnap, I may have to defect. Thanks.
