But see for yourself.

Beg me pardon, but why? I remember old poor ORWO had varying tint depending on batch and sensitivity (UT21 was better than UT18 IIRC) but this also changed with time. Nonetheless I always wanted to have them in proper colours and not greenish.
I think publishing the photos as they are makes little sense, especially as they are adjusted to changes during DTP and printing process. Removal of tint is simple process and does not affect colour balance, if anyone wants, he may turn the photo green, purple or whatever colour he wishes.
