@ayu, i like the texture of the smudge in the 2nd one, but (both of them) it's really dark & hard to see.

thats a purple layer on lighten, not a gmap
and i'm talking about a orange/purple gmap on soft light which I never use :P

e/ looking at it there is a gmap, but its a black/white for contrast O_ o

So in most cases selective color layers are better than gradient maps?

gradient maps are pretty bad period. (not saying they don't have a use, just most people use them in the wrong way)

running a filter for colors is pretty bad period. The only filters i really ever use for colors are really mild photofilters. Thats to enhance the colors not create.

Don't expect photoshop to pick the colors for you, this is a horrible handicap. Pick the colors yourself.
