I’ve worked out some colors using Color balance adjustments.

I also duplicated the gradient layer and set the top copy opacity to 3%.

I’ve also erased a little bit of the gradient using low flow opacity brush.

Now what I did, I’ve created a copy of each of the layers (4) and merged them together.
