Indeed, steps are missing.

>From the referring page:

"Switch to puzz_levels.psd and look at the Channels Palette. Switch
channel to shadows. Then Select>All and Edit>Define Pattern. Now
switch to your target image you are working with and create a new
channel (in Channels Palette click a New Channel icon.

Double click the channel you've just created and rename it to shadows.
Repeat this step for the rest of the channels in the puzz_levels.psd
After that you should have 3 additional channels in your target image
called shadows, highlights and grooves."

They forgot to tell you to "Edit -> Fill -> Pattern" after you create your
new channels and rename them. You have to fill each new channel that you
make in *your new image*  with the pattern that you defined out of the
"puzz_levels.psd" file. 

The instructions should be:

"Switch to puzz_levels.psd and look at the Channels Palette. Switch
channel to shadows. Then Select>All and Edit>Define Pattern. Now
switch to your target image you are working with and create a new
channel (in Channels Palette click a New Channel icon.

Double click the channel you've just created and rename it to shadows.

*******Then goto Edit>Fill and choose "Pattern" from the drop down menu******

Repeat this step for the rest of the channels in the puzz_levels.psd
After that you should have 3 additional channels in your target image
called shadows, highlights and grooves."

This will fix the image. They left out the most important step. LOL

*I'll post my version of the image after I finish making it.
