V2.4.0

94

This means a setting of zero changes the image to black and white and a set-
ting of 511 doubles the color intensity compared to the nominal one at 256.

Consider hue changes as a change in the angle of the vector, saturation a 
change in the length of the vector S, and all starting from the intensity coor-
dinate (vector from black to white).

The following picture illustrates the transformation.
