When you think of Ansel Adams\u2019 photographs, you think of neutral images rather than highly saturated ones. When you think of Matisse\u2019s paintings, you think of supersaturated images rather than neutral ones. Think of your use of saturation as an essential element that will help you define your own signature style.<br \/>\nOne of three elements of color (luminosity, hue, and saturation), saturation can give your images specific qualities of energy and light.
