Is it possible to draw a normal multi-coloured sprite as a pure white mask, or perhaps as a brighter sprite by a certain percentage (same with dimming too I guess). Also can this be done in colours like Red or Green etc. I'm sure this must be possible with one of the Blend Flags or something, I just need a hint :-)

Thanks in advance.
