I did a bit of experimenting in an attempt to achieve the 'red-filter' 
look (black sky) and found some reasonable solution in using the 
'channel mixer'. If you set the destination to 'gray' in the module, 
pull the red and green sliders to +1 approximately and then drop the 
blue slider to the area of -1 ... then a reasonable red filter on pan 
film effect is obtained.

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works. 
Faster operations. Version large binaries.  Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
