It occurred to me that if you copied the layer containing an image, turned the copy's saturation all the way down and the lightness up using the hue saturation tool, made sure the copy was above the original layer then turned the opacity of the copy layer down it might look like a gel effect and it did! You could use a layer mask to restrict the effect to only some areas or maybe paint in the splashes of white or gray here or there for more highlights. Maybe use a gradient or two to play with it. Play with the modes of the copy layer. Addition seems to enhance the gel effect. Multiply doesn't look like gel but is dramatic. Burn is a really cool effect. Soft light works great with this too. Difference looks like a color negative. Value gives a strange op art effect. I like being playful.
