In February 2015, Helm[1] started a topic on color balancing Pixel Art on Pixelation[2]. A wish was expressed how it would be nice to have a plugin for Cosmigo's Pro Motion[3] which could do color balancing. I had look-into-Pro-Motion-plugin-development on my things-I-would-like-to-try-sometime list for some time already so I took this opportunity to develop a plugin like that. The result is presented on this website. The initial version did not attempt to preserve the brightness in the output but after Ai[4] and DawnBringer[5] kept going on about how useful brightness preservation is, I implemented an optional brightness preservation strategy as well.[6]
