how do you get this cloudy/light effect

[dam prayer noobs]

did the person just use a brush or did they smudge it? and how do you get the orange and pink lighting to the right and left of the zune player...

all help appreciated

I'm almost certain that he smudged it.
I'm not quite sure on the light, you could add a gradient.
For smudging settings, I reccomend kiabin's.

looks like he smudged it with very low opacity ,, and afterwards he blurred it ,, to make it more slick .. and the colors you can do easily with Gradient

I think he might of put a a render of clouds in a select area..

Smudge, then light blur (by the looks of it, he highlighted with white brush on very low color dodge), and finally a radial blur, or something to create the highlight streaks.
