Looking for the best folded paper textures for your next branding designs? Find out how to apply creases and folds to a photo to make it look like a map that has been folded and unfolded! To generate the folded portions of the image, we’ll use guides and selects. To add highlights and shadows, we’ll use gradients, a layer blend mode, and one of Photoshop’s effects. Finally, we’ll use a custom brush to give the fold lines a worn-out appearance to produce the folded paper texture.

Finally, you may reduce the layer’s opacity to make the brush strokes appear less stark and powerful by blending them more naturally into the background of the image. At the top of the layer’s panel, the Opacity choice is located directly across from the Blend Mode option. Opacity is initially set to 100% by default. I’m going to cut my down to 70%.
We’re done with that now! My final “folds and creases” effect is shown below.
