Used Incandescent White Balance in the sunlight

[delovelady]

I accidentally used Incandescent WB on my Spark when taking pictures at the lake this past weekend. The net result is that everything in the photos has a significant green hue to it. Videos are like that too, of course, but at the moment I'm more concerned with the irreplaceable photos.

I've tried to fix them with GIMP, and have had dramatic change, close to reality, but not close enough. Wondering if someone on this platform who has better photo editing skills has run into and fixed a problem like this, and what you might advise. Note that I don't have Photoshop or any other premium editor.

Thanks, @sparkpod! Unfortunately, looks like Luminar for PC is not yet available. I don't have Mac at hand, so that product is out for now. From the website overview, though, it does look like a fantastic product for another day.

Thanks, @marrakchi.

That seems to be the most widely used editor in the world, and there's bound to be good cause for that. But I have been avoiding the outrageous Adobe price. Unless it brings some capability not in other options, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that. So with that in mind, do you know if Lightroom does a better job than others such as GIMP?

Maybe GIMP should be able to do the job How to Correct White Balance with GIMP

While I appreciate that offer very much (and gladly accept it), please understand my goal here is not to get someone to do this for me. There are too many pictures involved, and I could not ask someone to take their precious time (it is so very precious) to fix them for me. The purpose here is to find advice, or even a roadmap that I can follow to achieve the desired results. So, yes, please do try to fix that picture from my first post on this topic. But more than that, if you could tell me how that was done, maybe I could fix the others.

Thanks so much, you are very generous.

Thanks, yes, I started there. But I wasn't able to find the combination needed to make it right. I saw enough that I'm convinced it can be done, but haven't "brought it home" quite yet.

It's so far off you're never going to get it back. Quick tip, turn it into a black and white shot

That, Sir, is an excellent idea! I will look into that!

Thank you so much for your efforts, @marrakchi! I really appreciate it. You sure did a fine job of bringing this close to reality! I will definitely consider lightbridge as an option the next time I have such a need. You've done a good thing here!

Thank you, but not easy without having seen the original site of the shot
Nice flight ;-)

Have you tried lightroom app. On iOS it does quite a lot of things wonderfully. Register for free and you will unlock the features.

You can get a feel for the site here. I did what I could for now.

Tried lightroom and snapseed on iphone, got this result. Took me a long time, selecting and correcting certain part. Not sure whether this is the correct color. And you see i still miss a lot of spots, but you get the idea hehe

Wow, that's good too. Thanks. As with all options, looks like time and experience are the key factors, and I lack both presently. I've learned from this though, so it's not all a bust. Next time I need an abstract, this thread will be my starting point. Some cool tools for excellent results. Thanks for all the tips.
