Script-Fu -> Color Temp

This is an adjustable script which adjusts the images color temperature. Certainly more refined than simply dragging around a color slider, due to adjustable settings:

• Obtain original temperature from: slider below or foreground color
• Original temperature (K)
• Target temperature (K)
• Intensity (here meaning brightness)
• Saturation change

The script can be a bit awkward to start working with, since you don't see a preview as you move the sliders around. But I find it worth the effort if I do a little tweaking.
