With the processing.pdf library, is it normal that I cannot `tint()` an image ?

```auto
import processing.pdf.*;
PImage img ;
color orange, yellow, green;

void setup() {
  size(600, 600);
  beginRecord(PDF, "testExport.pdf");
  img = loadImage("../greyLogo1.png");
  imageMode(CENTER);
  orange = color(246, 130, 18); 

  background(150);
  tint(orange);
  image(img, width/2, height/2, 200, 313);

  endRecord();
  exit();
}

```
