Thanx

      Yeah, sorry for wandering a bit off topic there - but it was too good to pass up

        If you are after an easy one click solution, then Filter Forge has a couple of options

        This is Shredder by Quasimodo  (the image was too obvious a choice as a test subject )

        And this is Top Secret by ThreeDee

        Note you are obviously looking at preview screens above.  The final render is pretty decent quality (click to expand).

        Filter Forge is a strange kind of a plugin.  It has a huge number of effects and it becomes a sort of 'can't find wood for the trees' thing, but without knowing they existed, I thought I had a good chance of finding a shredder effect because that's the sort of thing it is good for.  Well worth having if you an illustrator.

        Hi

        If you want to try something without any plug ins you could make a tooth shaped vector mask. Just make a rectangle path with path operations set to "subtract front path" and then transform a copy (Ctrl+Alt+T) then repeat (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+T). Add it to the image layer as a vector mask. Copy the layer and shift the mask a couple of times. Add a touch of shadow and emboss then transform and warp each layer
