Start with an image. (any image)

Add a new white layer and paint soft black lines across it using a soft brush. Like this.

Duplicate that layer and set it to screen. Turn this layer off until later.

Set the first layer you created to multiply.

Go into Filter/ Liquify.
Distort the image like this and save the mesh to your desktop.



Apply the Liquify mesh to the other layers by clicking on the layer and then going into Filter/ Liquify and then load the mesh that was saved to your desktop.

Create a soft mask like this.

and apply it to all the layers. Turn the screen layer back on and lower the opacity until you like it. Add a shadow layer under the original image.

You can even add an adjustment layer to the top to brighten up the area where the folds are.
That's it.
Have fun.
