Saturation method (Main Control)

Visual Basic example
Visual C++ 4.0 example
Visual J++ example

Syntax short Saturation (short iChange);

Overview: Refer to Correcting Colors.

Remarks

Increases or decreases the saturation of colors in the bitmap.

Negative values decrease the saturation of colors. Positive values increase the saturation. The saturation level is increased or decreased by a percentage of its present saturation level. For example, an increase of 20% of the current saturation level "L" will raise the new saturation level "L1" to a value of L + 0.20 * L. Likewise, increasing the saturation level 100% doubles the saturation level (L1 = L + 1.0 * L). Decreasing the saturation level 100% will set the new saturation level to 0. This process is carried out for every pixel.

This method supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
