I recently took HD camcorder video at my grandsons birthday party. Part of the party was go-karting in a large sports hall. The hall was light with large sodium lights which have cast an orange glow over everything..I've tried to use the magic bits of PD without success.

Can some give me a few ideas on how to remove the organge glow please.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

The problem with sodium lights is that they don't have a full spectrum of light, just a single frequency (the sodium line, actually two very close spectral lines), so it is most unlikely that any program will be able to resolve the original colours as they just don't exist in the original recording.

Unless there was some other source of light, if you remove the yellow colour you will find that the result is largely monochrome.
