The edge of the metal is a bit boring. Now we need to give the edge of the jagged metal some shading.

Create a new layer and name it "Dark Edge Shading".

Create a new layer and name it "Light Edge Shading".


Now we need to make a selection of the edge. Hit Cmd/Cntrl and click on the "Edge Color" layer-layers mask, if you see the marching ants on the outside of the canvas, hit Cmd/Cntrl + I to invert the selection.


Then hit Shift + Cmd/Cntrl and click on the "Metal Texture copy" layer-layers panel, if you see the marching ants on the outside of the canvas, hit Cmd/Cntrl + I to invert the selection.


This should create a selection that looks like this without marching ants on the outside of the canvas……

Save this selection by going to SELECT > SAVE SELECTION.


Highlight "Dark Edge Shading" layer.

Grab your Brush Tool.

Make your brush fairly soft and lower it's Flow to about 70%.

Set to a dark color of choice.

Begin Brushing in the the dark shaded areas.

This is the basic jagged hole effect.
