Select the the Brush Settings in the top toolbar and set the Size to 1px and the Hardness to 100%. Place your cursor just inside one of the torn edges of the image and then click and drag outside of the image. You should see a fine line drawn out of the image that tapers off.

Continue painting smudged lines like this at random out of the edges of the image. It may not look very impressive at this size, but when you zoom out, you will see that it produces a subtle effect similar to paper fibers.

When you are satisfied with the effect, save your image as a PSD file or in your preferred format. You can add a shadow to the image to give it depth and make it look more realistic.
