RGB Tint map

RGB Tint adjusts the value of the three color channels in an image. Three color swatches represent these channels. Changing a color swatch adjusts the value of its associated color channel.

The channels are named Red, Green, and Blue for their default colors, but you can assign them any color. You are not limited to variations of red, green, and blue.
