Reversing Color Filtering Effect

[Michelle76]

I am compiling various mpg and avi files together to make one single movie. One of the clips (mpg) has been filtered (appears to be blue); not sure what software was used to filter it. I would either like to restore the mpg file to it's original colors or take snapshots and edit to natural colors = Is it possible?

Any help would be appreciated.

A bluish cast can be reversed pretty easily. If the video has been reduced to nothing but pure blue shades it will be much harder. Post a sample.

Hi jagabo

Thanks for your reply.

It is not possible for me to upload the video due to the personal nature but here is a screencap.

Hope this will help.

Those colors have been though a complex convolution. It won't be easy to restore the original colors without knowing what that convolution was. Maybe someone else will have some ideas...

For convenience, here's the sample image:
