Saturation

Submitted by Explorus on

Greetings to all. I ask for help. Did I understand correctly that the user_sat parameter does not change the saturation, in the sense that the saturate in HSL, but indicates the maximum change? So I can't change the saturation? In what situations and how should I change the user_sat?
Thank you in advance

user_sat is documented way to change maximum with guarantee you do not break anything

(for example, if you'll change maximum value after open_file(), but before unpack() it can result into data error exceptions/warnings).
