Nice; seems to give cleaner results than GIMP's Retinex preset too (not showing). Thanks for the heads up, iarga and thanks for the new preset, David.

I like that result, Dinasset. Did you apply default settings?

yes, defaults

I've added a new slider Regularization to be able to get rid of bloc artefacts appearing sometimes after applying the Retinex filter (usually in very dark & quantized regions). The regularization is based on guided-image filtering, and it seems to work quite well ! (see animation below).
