Multi Color Balance when used in a script still requires a manual Reset when its input image is changed to set color cast free full range black and white points to get the transform display dialog to be correct... ...the Output image appears as expected.

Use the following test images... ...use the Readout Tool to provide the RGB values.

Sequence:
1) Open Img 1 in the Browser

2) Open the Multi Color Balance tranform, manually select Settings-Reset, then OK. This ensures that the settings are indeed those needed for Img 1. It appears that the before and after Reset transform dialog display are the same.

3) Save 2) Script without Image Names and leave the Img 1 tree in the Browser.

4) Load the 3) saved Script and Open Image File Img 2

5) Select Edit transform... ...note the transform dialog settings are the same as they were for Img 1... ...although the transform Output display appears to be correct using the Readout Tool.

6) Select Settings - Reset to get the needed transform dialog display settings for Img 2... ...the before and after Reset transform dialog display will differ.

I see the curves and result changing after a Reset, but I think the problem is with Reset and not with switching images -- will check it out tomorrow.

Agree that the transform in its script version is correctly producing the desired output image but its transform dialog display may be showing Settings-Reload Last Settings for the Remove colors and curves instead of the those used for the current input image... ...until a manual Settings-Reset or Reload Last Settings is selected. The conflict may be with Reset and/or Reload Last Setting commands...

...also Reload Last Settings may not be working properly because clicking it corrected the transform display the same as clicking Reset.
