ALthough I don't use a modded camera, I have processed a few images from them. Without any other filter in place, everything is very red indeed. It is fairly easy to colour balance them though. usually through a levels adjustment. Also ImagePlus allow you to do pixel maths, and most recommend multiplying the red channel by 0.6 to restore the colour balance. Here is the modded image with a simple levels adjustment to balance the colours
