Well, your example images really drive the point home very well.

Must admit that I never really used balanc0r, so I guess I jumped too fast :-)
Should also have read your code more carefully, now I see that you stay in
RGB-type spaces anyway, I thought you were going to some Hxx space.

The amount of difference from balanc0r is striking, could be that there is a
bug in it, haven't read its code either...

All this still holds when you convert to LMS, you have to assume something.

REC 709 also does not use a simple power function, you would need to "de-
gamma" anyway.



Anyway, I think this plugin should be included.
