Paint Shop Pro 7 has a valuable feature. Amongst the choices offered under 'Effect' / 'Enhance Photo' one finds 'Automatic Color Balance'. Colour casts can be removed efficiently here.
The algorithm PSP 7 uses is effective and gradable. Once you get it set correctly it will remove the cast from every frame of a set without further ado. In Finland, in winter, the snow usually has a pronounced blue cast and PSP fixes this in a jiffy. I use PSP 7 often when starting on the files after scanning a film. Once I've done a preliminary check I move over to Photoshop - where the same thing can be done manually, but is more of a fiddle. I can post examples if anyone thinks its worth the trouble.
