Ok, so you would like it to have one picture and the buttons change the
coloring of it (like tint on a tv). Once the picture is the correct color it

Or

Would you rather have it as alan proposess where the buttons change the
pieces of the pictures and you need the whole picture to look right

Or

something different an I'm missing it?
