The best way I've found is to buy large gels and use a modeling light in your strobe. Then tape the gel to the strobe or speed ring at the four corners so that it mostly covers the flash tube output. It doesn't work absolutely perfectly (there will always be some ungelled leakage), but it works well enough. I used that very technique for these shots:






I used 3 warming gels stacked together taped in a 22" HOBD (beauty dish). I was trying to shift the ambient color spectrum to blue while maintaining a decently warm light on the subject.
