Piece of cake, If shooting digital. Make Custom White Balance shots with such stongly reddish tint, and it will go away during shooting. No need to mix channels at home. You can still tune this up further and shoot different " tints" of white balance, and use those files to play with overall balance in your computer, but well before entering PS and the dance of channels, or any other tool.( Hey Paul, here is some effective use of Raw!). I find this most useful. Under the (very boring Canon RIC), you can still pick some images and apply one WB setting and still get another group of images ( or single images for this matter) and apply another ,different color balance, until you feel satisfied. Further adjustments will require of the Channel Mixing,Hue,Saturation/ Color Balance adjustments etc, but anyway it is less hard to reach balance. If shooting film, I let Shangara ,Les, Richard, etc tell you, but I would go ,at least, with some in-camera bluish filtration as a starting point. All the best.
