A second method for color remapping has been added:
a grid is used to divide the image into subimages, identify the color distribution for each subimage and remap the colors with respect to adjacent subimage cells.

Compared to the regional remapping technique, this approach currently is more successful for a broader range of images - especially landscape and other scenic images. The regional remapping algorithm, however, still may produce more brilliant and fine images.

'Picturebook images' - delight reviewers.
