I've noticed some photos published lately that were apparently done with warm-tinted gradient filters such as Cokin's Gradual Tobacco. Admitting to a prejudice here, I've always thought these sorts of effects to be kind of hokey. But they're obviously selling. In one case, the photographer has several versions of the same shot online, with and without various gradient filter effects, and the one the magazine bought was tinted. I try not to succumb to trends, but still have to wonder if this is one. Curious about other opinions.
