RE: [office] Giving 120%

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

The only way that I could make sense of this, assuming -100% goes to dark
and +100% goes to full-on, is that the % applies to the range between the
current setting and the extreme.  That is, for the example of a channel
strength of 26 (0x1A), -% takes chunks out of the range 0 to 26, and +% adds
chunks to the range 26 to 255 (assuming the usual RGB values), so -100% is
always 0 and +100% is always 255.

This is a very strange way to do it, but I am not a subject-matter expert on
how filter settings adjust color levels in graphics work.

All this tells me is that we still don't have the full story. 

Is there a JIRA issue on this?

On second look, this does not make sense. Suppose we are starting of
with a channel strength of 1A for blue, we can then obviously only going
down to 00 which would be -100%. +100% should be 2B. SO we are not
allowing this to be turned up even further? 

If we are allowing -100% we really should at the other end be open (or
at least go to _much_ further.
