Yes.

Did you check that 4096 is the fixed point representation of 1.0?
So if you want your tmd to appears 1:1 use a scale of [4096,4096,4096].
To double it in size use [8192:8192:8192] for example.

Scaling works fine, I've used it for a few things so far.

Could you post some code to demonstrate this?
