First, download one of the tear templates. Here is the one I’m using in this tutorial.
I have a document open with two pieces of paper already in it, each on their own layer.
Place the tear, on its own layer, and as the top layer, above both pieces of paper.
With the paper layer (directly below the tear layer) selected, first use the rectangular marquee tool to select one side of the paper - getting close to the tear edge.
Hit “delete.” Then deselect, to get rid of the rectangle selection (mac: command-d, or pc: control-d, or select>deselect from the top menu bar).
Next use the erase tool, with a round brush, and hardness to 100%.
Erase the remaining part of the paper up to and along (even going under a little) the edge of the tear.
