automator – Can macOS add a torn edge to pictures in clipboard?

I might like to have the ability to add torn edges to pictures within the clipboard on my Mac. I do lots of documentation and being able so as to add a torn edge round a display screen shot helps the those that attempt to click on the button within the screenshots perceive that its a picture of the button, not the button itself…

I used Greenshot on Home windows however now I’ve moved to Mac I’ve discovered that greenshot on Mac simply lacks too many options so I am now utilizing Shottr which has all of the options I would like besides torn edge.

‘Torn edge’ provides a border to the picture to make it appear like its been torn from a bigger sheet of paper. In greenshot it appears just like the picture on this web page:

I’ve checked out utilizing imagemagick or Pages together with automator to mechanically create a duplicate of the picture in a subfolder of ‘screenshots’ that has the impact utilized however being new to scripting on this mac I am not even certain what phrases to place into google to go looking.

Any tips about the place to begin could be appreciated. If there’s a javascript resolution which may additionally work as I additionally use CopyQ which may course of the clipboard contents utilizing ECMAScript

Is that this one thing that may be automated?
