In thinking about ways of getting the maximum saturation into the image without hitting the gamut boundary walls (and therefore flattening out the image detail), I've been thinking that there is an additional interface tweak that would be really useful.
As has been discussed, it will be useful if the HSB Saturation curve could be displayed (via a radio button) either horizontal (for altering saturation on a hue-by-hue basis) or diagonal (for altering saturation on an intensity basis - as is the case in CM3).
I think that it will be immensely helpful if the threshold feature available in Lab (L channel) and HSB (B channel) is also made available for the HSB Saturation channel when the channel display is set to 'Intensity' (diagonal).
This will allow us to use the threshold to get 100% saturation into areas in the image without driving large areas out-of-gamut (and therefore crushing the detail).
In conjunction with an L parabola mask (and a version of HSB based on Lab), this thresholding Saturation option could make HSB the go-to color mode for color enhancement.
Cheers,
