I've used the "torn edge" effect extensively in
a recent manual, and on my website. On
my website, it allows me to maintain the clarity of
a full size screen-shot (vs. resizing), and in my
manual it allows me to maintain whitespace or show
related screens in the same space. I provide a
tutorial on creating this effect in PaintShop Pro on
my website at: http://www.execpc.com/~knp/TechComm/GreatGraphics.html
