It doesn't mean that fillRect uses all of them, it still uses the depth of the 
image.

MAX_CHANNELS means: This is the maximum number of channels an image sample can 
have.  So MAX_CHANNELS might be 10, 100 or whatever, but if fillRect is 
working on a RGB image, it's still only going to use 3 channels.
