Open the Layer Style panel by double-clicking the Layer.

In the Advanced Blending section of the Layer Styles panel, uncheck the box next R (red channel). Click Ok.  

5. Nudge the layer to show the effect. 

With the top Layer selected use the Arrow Keys to nudge right or left multiple times to reveal the 3D effect.
