I spent too much time yesterday with not understanding what really happens and why my code produces different results than existing rgb version. I was thinking it over by a bottle of dark Staropramen and finally voted for this very same logic.

"Where overlay is brigher by threshold" =>
Where overlay is brigther by 10 =>
Where overlay > src + 10

and "Where overlay is darker by threshold" =>
Where overlay is darker by 10 =>
Where overlay < src - 10
