Torn Edges

The Torn Edges effect makes the edges of objects in an image appear like torn paper. This effect is particularly useful for images consisting of text or simple, high-contrast graphics.

By default, this effect produces a monochrome (gray-scale) image.

Name	Specifies the operator's name.
Opacity	Sets the opacity of the effect over the input image. A value of 0 makes the effect completely transparent, while a value of 100 makes it completely opaque.
Use Alpha As Mask	Uses the input image's alpha channel as a mask for applying the effect. The effect is fully applied to areas of the image where the alpha channel is white, and not at all to areas where it is black.
Run Effect On	Enable the RGB and/or Alpha options to specify whether the effect is applied to the RGB channels, the Alpha channel, or both.
Image Balance	Set higher values to increase the area that appears in the foreground color, or set lower values to increase the area that appears in the background color.
Smoothness	Set higher values to increase the smoothness in the resulting image, or set lower values for a more jagged image.
Contrast	Set higher values to increase the contrast in the resulting image, or set lower values to decrease the contrast.
Background Color	Sets the color for background regions of the effect. Set a color using the sliders.
Foreground Color	Sets the color for foreground regions of the effect. Set a color using the sliders.
