Hi,

Here's a somewhat kludgy approach that you might use.  Several years ago, I
presented an introduction to ImageJ to the Microscopy Society of America.
In that presentation, http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/examples/IJ-M&M08.ppt,
I included a method of color correction of images based on separation of
RGB images and manipulation of the separated images to modify the color
balance.  Check slides 20-21 in the powerpoint.  It's not a solution, but
more of a suggestion of a strategy.  There may be plug-ins that do that
more directly.
