I don't know what others do but..........

I will make at least 3 layers

on the bottom layer the gradient will be opaque

the next layer it will be 70-80% opaque and tilted between 5-10 degrees to the right

and the next layer it will be 70-80% opaque and tilted the same degrees to the left

 

It may not be the BEST way but I've found it works for me.

layering like lantec says is one way...blur layers,noise layers help too.

If you are not seeing it while making it but only after applying to desktop...you are not exporting at the resolution of your screen.(like putting 1920 on 1440 rez)
