Is there a website or an app that I can use to apply a red filter to my photos. Would like to try and get a lot of the picture I took as close to what the natural look is.

Ive tried Dive+ it helps but the pics still have very little of the natural color. I haven't heard of the Gimp red filter you have more info on this ?you can try the gimp red filter or the dive+ app for something quick and dirty vs manual retouching in adobe.
ok well I guess ill have to look into getting the proper filters for my camera that way Dive+ can get them where they need to beit is through GIMP, which is an image editing program. the results are going to be similar to dive+ though. if your image is so blue that dive+ is not helping much, it may not be possible to get the color back
If you can't correct them in post processing it is also likely that a red filter won't help either - past a certain depth there is no red light left unless you bring some with you( lights or a strobe). If there's no red to record a filter won't help you as it can't add back what is not there. Anything much beyond 10m is difficult or impossible to deal with. Here's an example shot at about 8m no strobe or light: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~chrisx2/images/EasternBlueGroper10.jpg Much deeper and the pic turns to mush as there's no red channel to work with.ok well I guess ill have to look into getting the proper filters for my camera that way Dive+ can get them where they need to be
