Colour Saturation adjustment - Raw file and Photoshop

colour saturation can be adjusted to either reduce the colour intensity in an image or increase it

there are various means of doing this we can either do it through the RAW file converter where we can save the settings and readjust it at any time - this means we do not loose any of the information
