the only way i manage to do it is to create a layer above the one where the flag is, select it as a mask for the layer below it, then use a linear gradient tool (transparent -> background) and draw a line from top to bottom. i hope you understand it, my english is good but my ps knowledge isn't =(

yeah, thought about that, its just all other flags seem to have some exact filter/layer overlayed...

Maybe taLa can help? :(

I just want the filter/layer settings for the shine

after you made a line with the brush you can delete one part of it using selection tool :)
