Now go to Filter: Distort: Shear (which will be on this copied replica layer).

Create a shear like this with repeat edge pixels. You get a handy preview in the dialog box. Press OK. You don’t want to overdo it because you are just creating a slightly bent polaroid picture effect.

Press OK to accept the shear distort filter and click on your background layer. Go to the gradient tool and choose a gradient such as this blue to white foreground to background. Note: Whatever your foreground color is...you have that option in the gradient options bar; (the default being black to white).

Swipe on down the image to fill this background layer with the gradient.

Click on ‘V’ for the moVe tool and you can drag this layer over to your original document. This is the document you will save. Drag it halfway over to look like this (if you want an exact replica). You may have to change the layer order to keep it below the picture. Also drag in the sheared picture to the original document.

Create a layer set folder by clicking on the folder icon. Now drag the base layer of the clipping group into the folder and the other layers in the clipping group (mask) will follow (I just discovered this during the creation of this tutorial but it makes sense)!

Click on the eyeball of the original white fill layer and the original clipping group base layer to reveal your polaroid picture effect!
