Color curves

This shader adjusts colors with curves, similar to the filter found in art/photo editing software such as Krita and GIMP. Supports RGB, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha, Hue, Saturation and Value channels. It takes a CurveTexture as a uniform sampler2D for each channel.

For the Godot 3 GLES2 version, see: https://godotshaders.com/shader/color-curves/

Artwork in the cover image is made by Erevoid, with Pixelorama.
