List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:Equalize, White Balance
Using 'Equalize' or any kind of histogram balancing makes the image black and white. The color mode is RGB, all 4 channels are present (RGBA), and I even saved the image and re-opened GIMP just in case it was a one-off thing. I really don't think this is the intended functionality of these functions, as every example of them I can find still includes the colors. Using the auto-balancing function in Levels produces the same result. How can I equalize value without destroying the image?
This is the image before using either Equalize or White Balance:

I wish the forums wouldn't block links to imgur and google drive for new users if it's just going to allow me to upload the files directly anyway.
