So IF I understand this discussion, we would have tiles that would allow us
to modify: hue, saturation, brightness by some percentage (the shift) *and
be able to undo* whatever "effects" were created by these tiles to "restore
to base graphic" (or the equivelant).  It would be great to be able to
modify red, blue and green as well.  Not sure if we can or should try for
alpha, especially this late in the release.  Sounds great.  Thanks to all.
