 | 1.Open an image for applying the cracks to. |
 | 2. Double click the Lasso Tool on the tool bar to select the Tool and to bring up the Lasso Options. Make sure Anti-Aliased is Uncheckedand feather is set to 0. This is so we know it will be nice and sharp and no smoothing or soft edges. |
 | 3. Make a New Layer. On the image now, jiggle the mouse and make a crack of some sort with the lasso. You’ll need to start at one point and then eventually return to that same point (like shown). This takes a little artistic skill from you to make a really cool one. So if you don’t like the first try, then hit undo. |
 | 4. After you have made a crack design, fill it with 100% white by using the paint brush or going to Edit>Fill and choosing White. |
| 5. Offset the selection one pixel up and then to the left one pixel using the arrow keys on the keyboard. | |
 | 6. Fill the selection with Dark Gray. Now choose "Hard Light" from the layers pop down menu.  You can Deselect it now by going toSelect>Deselect. |
| | 7.To add the hollow look, go toLayer>Effects>Inner Shadow. If you don’t want this look, then fill with Black instead of Dark Gray on step 6. |
  | 8. This next step we will be adding some details to the cracks. Zoom into an area. Paint some Highlights above the crack and a dark shadow below the crack like I have shown, this makes it looked popped out a little. You will need to be creative and artistic, try and play around a little bit. |
