Isn't that just a semitransparent layer on top?
My original inspiration for my color processing system was to fix images with a 'color cast', if you will. Like, if an image has an extreme blue hue because of a camera flash, or something similar.
The more I researched into it and experimented for myself, the more I realized that chromatic offset isn't much different than the C in Y=MX+C. Find the offset and subtract it from the image..
To me it was basically like a fog, that needed a mathematical solution.
Nope, existing color systems can't account for color flare, which is nonlinear.
