EdgeHighlight allows you to take a selected area of your canvas (or a layer with transparency) and apply directional lighting to it. Highlights are applied to the edges of your object, defined by the object's transparency or a selection.

This is one of those effects that includes so many different parameters that it's difficult to visualize everything this filter can do.

It's just a fantastically versatile effect.  Other utilitarian lighting effects include:
