There are so many, filters, plugins, effects and textures vailable for doing this kind of thing, in PhotoShop, if you want to experiment - but why not create exactly the kind of effect you want, on a crumpled/straightened out piece of paper, (including scorched edges!) - and just scan it in before trying various filters on it?......Lewes
