Lighting effects in photoshop

Today we had a closer look at using lighting effects in Photoshop to make 'rocky' textures and 'raised' effects.
As you can see this simple rock texture was made by simply rendering clouds on a normal layer and also on a new layer in the 'channels' area, then going into render > lighting effects and setting the texture to Alpha 1. 
As you can see this technique can be used for giving a 'raised' or 'etched' look as well.
As you can see I used this technique to make this quick brick wall.
