@@ -12,9 +12,9 @@ In 2D, color images are often represented in RGB---3 layers of 2D arrays, where
 the 3 layers represent (R)ed, (G)reen and (B)lue channels of the image. The
 simplest way of getting a tinted image is to set each RGB channel to the
 grayscale image scaled by a different multiplier for each channel. For example,
-if I want a red image, I can just multiply my green and blue channels by 0 so
-that only the red channel appears. Similarly, I can zero-out the blue channel,
-leaving only the red and green channels, which combine to form yellow.
+multiplying the green and blue channels by 0 leaves only the red channel and
+produces a bright red image. Similarly, zeroing-out the blue channel leaves
+only the red and green channels, which combine to form yellow.
