To do bleach bypass manually using Photoshop...

You can achieve this by duplicating the current layer you're working on and changing it's blending mode to Screen at 100% opacity... Then manipulate the Red Channel of that layer by using curves... That's it, it should emulate the effect... But you can certainly do more, if you experiment with the other channels of your image as well... HTH :)

It means that you adjust the red channel of the image you are working... You can do this in a number of ways... And one is by using Curves.
