I think this is quite challenging.

Definitely and interesting challenge! In GIMP I have found that the Krikor Colour Cast Reduction plug-in (with the result colour inverted) provides a useful starting point.
This plug-in can be found at: Krikor Color Cast Reduction plug-in - GIMP LEARN
This one has a few issues that aren’t easy to correct, maybe disguising some of it is the best you can ask for. I’m not talking about the vignetting/lenshood, that is just something you need to take into account when using them.
The main issue seems to be that the shot was pushed too hard which leaves the sky overexposed and also seems to create a colour cast (and/or harsher greens). But, and this is what makes it so hard, that “damage” is on the physical film, which in turn was shot with a Olympus DSLR, which might(n’t) have been dialled in correctly.
I wanted to give this a try using just one editor (RawTherapee in this case) and am somewhat pleased by what I was able to do. I’m sure you might even have a better end-result when you pull this into GIMP/Krita/PS and do some more work on it. Not sure if that is worth it, though, for a shot like this.
PS: I’m not sure how contrasty this Kodak film is, but I tried to keep that aspect toned down to mimic the film look. You can easily push the blacks a bit more and add some contrast to the above edit.
EDIT: Almost forgot. The camera profile I used is not one that comes with RawTherapee. I used this one: Olympus E-M5 Mark III Adobe Standard.dcp (117.9 KB)
OK, I want to make one thing clear: cross processing is something artistic, so this thread is not about “fixing” a broken capture. It is about art and what one can achieve with those “technical damages”. I am curious about your artistic interpretations.
Cross processing is not about technically perfect realistic captures.
OK, that is good to know…
I did not realize that that was you intention for this Play Raw and I tried to salvage this image as a result.
I found it a nice challenge nonetheless
nevertheless, I find your interpretation not so bad…
Here’s mine, the best I found to get rid of the pink was to blow out those regions to white, with a bit of desaturation of the pinks, there’s still a some left in the branches but it’s not too distracting :
Here’s one to rectify my previous misunderstanding about the intention of this Play Raw.
