    <p>I'm trying to tint an image. But this time a more tricky variant.</p> <ul> <li><p>The image has got <code>saturation</code>, <code>brightness</code> and <code>alpha</code> information (sadly as RGBA), which should <em>not</em> be discarded (saturation for black shadow).</p></li> <li><p>The tint color has got <code>hue</code>, <code>saturation</code>, <code>brightness</code> and <code>alpha</code> information (sadly also as RGBA) which also should not be discarded.</p></li> <li><p>As I imagine it, each HSBA component (except to hue) should be <em>multiplied</em> to have full control about the tinted image - e.g. when I provide a less bright tint color, the image brightness should also be scaled down.</p></li> </ul> <p>So, something like:</p> <pre><code>(h,s,b,a) = (h_tint, s_tint*s_image, b_tint*b_image, a_tint*a_image) </code></pre> <p>I searched the internet, but this procedure <strong>does not seem to be common</strong>, even when ignoring the alpha channel (or even the saturation too) for the moment.</p> <p>I'd need it in iOS, but I didn't even find such a layer blend mode in Photoshop. I've tried (in iOS and if existing in Photoshop):</p> <ul> <li><code>Multiply</code> - does not look at all like what I want</li> <li><code>Darken</code> - not really</li> <li><code>Color Dodge</code> - at least somewhat usable, but not really right</li> <li><code>Plus Darker</code> - also ok, but not really</li> <li><code>Color</code> / <code>Luminosity</code> / <code>Hue</code> - these would have been my favourites, but they <strong>discard the tint's saturation and brightness values</strong> instead of multiplicating them. But maybe if there is a way of applying the missing saturation and brightness afterwards?</li> </ul> <p><strong>So, has the described blend mode a common name / would it make sense?</strong></p> <p><strong>Any ideas on how to do this in iOS?</strong> (I'm aware of the Apple Developer <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_images/dq_images.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001066-CH212-CJBIJEFG" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Guide</a> and <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/CGContext/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/CGBlendMode" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Reference</a>, and the stackoverflow questions <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3514066/how-to-tint-a-transparent-png-image-in-iphone/3524872#3524872">about tinting</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/845278/overlaying-a-uiimage-with-a-color/1162285#1162285">overlaying</a>)</p>

    1. COOk, I'll probably go with `Luminosity`/`Color` as it produces the least effort with acceptable results. The result still is too light for darker wanted colors.

    2. COBTW, I learned that Luminosity != Brightness (HSB) != Lightness (HSL)

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
