Question About Color Balance Tool

Thanks for the reply.

No, unfortunately not. I'm specifically looking for a tool with "color to color" sliders like the Color Balance tool. It makes it exceptionally easy to arrive at a desired color. Almost no guess work involved.

That being said, a few hours ago I did discover a tool which should help somewhat until I can find a 1:1 replacement for Color Balance: Colors ➤ Components ➤ Channel Mixer.

From the definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_balance

The gimp_gmic_qt plugin http://www.gmic.eu has a color balance filter. Only a single adjustment, the neutral color and only a single slider adjustment.

Snags, it uses a preview, not directly on the canvas and that is not real time, you need to refresh the preview with adjustments, although there is a before/after split option.

Thanks for the reply.

I must humbly admit that I only used the "color balance" terminology because that's what GIMP calls it and I didn't want to confuse what I was looking for. In PhotoImpact, the tool that operates almost identically the same as GIMP's "Color Balance" but with a master option, was called "Color Adjustment."  From what I can gather, the tool you're talking about does something similar to white balance but on a color level. It looks like the Channel Mixer tool under Components is more in the direction of what I'm looking for.
