How to Make Something Not Desaturated in GIMP
“Saturation” is a measurement of the intensity of color in an image. A highly saturated image contains bright, vivid colors; a fully desaturated image contains only shades of gray. Use the "Hue-Saturation" feature in GIMP, a free image-editing program, to increase the saturation of an image. The more saturation you apply to the image in GIMP, the more intense its color palette will become.
