Jeff, do you have an image of the lut you used? You can open a lut in Fiji by file/open.

The Rosco 2008 should be one of the best filters for making NDVI because it blocks all the red light better than others. It has only 40% of the overall transmission of the 2007, so exposures will have to compensate by more than one f/stop. It blocks a lot of the green light too, so false color Infrared (NBG) might be harder.

The first thing I would do is to make a floating point NDVI image, open it in Fiji, and apply the lut of choice to it. That might look different from the color NDVI produced by the plugin.

Can I do a better post-white-balancing to recover useful data?

If you adjust the white balance on the infrablue photo, or make any other changes to the color balance, you will get different NDVI values. By trial and error you can get NDVI values that make more sense. Whether the new NDVI image will be useful data is less clear. I guess you could start by adjusting the color so the photo looks more yellow like other infrablue photos. Maybe that will make the NDVI image look more meaningful.

I have a feeling it is a white balance problem. The blue channel seems to be off. I would expect vegetation to be much darker in the blue channel. The green and red channels look very similar.
