Technical Background

Image tinting changes an image's tone through color overlay. The Canvas 2D API provides the globalCompositeOperation property for blend modes. Common mode principles: multiply multiplies color values (darker result); screen inverts, multiplies, and inverts again (lighter result); overlay uses multiply for darks and screen for lights (enhanced contrast); color preserves original luminosity while using the overlay's hue and saturation. Opacity is controlled via the globalAlpha property, with values 0-1 corresponding to 0%-100%.
