Open an existing image.
Now click on the channels pallet and create a new channel

Click on the airbrush icon in the toolbox and set the pressure to 14.
Move the airbrush in diagonal movements across the channel.
Click back on to your image in the layers pallet and chose Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.

The settings I used were:
  • Light Type - Spotlight
  • Intensity - 21
  • Focus - 59
  • Gloss - 34
  • Material - 69
  • Exposure - 0
  • Ambience - -2
  • Texture Channel - Alpha 1 (#1)
  • White is high - unchecked
  • Height - 30


Click OK
That's it....

To get different effect why not try to add a filter to your channel and see what happens.
