So I would argue strongly for artificially increasing the saturation just to the point where we are saying something sensible about what is up there, but no further.

well said - agree entirely with this. Have sometimes found it necessary to saturate beyond the point of comfort to emphasise a particular feature in an image - not ideal, not for a purist, but necessary to get across a point. Cheers Ray
