I think there is some misunderstanding.

If you look at e.g. the RGB fixture, you have 4 controls: Intensity, 
R, G, and B. This Intensity is NOT the master, but just change RGB at 
the same time, and clamps to 0 and 255!

Above the fixture controls you have the "Master Intensity", with a 
range 0-199%. This control does exactly what you want for a Intensity 
correction of cues/manual setting.
