    Just a very colorful picture. The saturation settings don't actually have to apply.

    wouldnt desaturation be the exact opposite of what you want? I find it very contradicting to be allowing a b/w piece.

    Saturation can be attributed to both black and white and colors. They both involve dealing with saturation.

    Can I submit a ------ desaturated photo?

    I'm gonna guess yes and submit, if it does not, feel free to remove.


    Edit: How much editing is allowed, would this thing over here be considered too far edited?

    I only desaturated it and messed with the colors a little bit.
    Right here
