>>4084801>being this uneducatedok let me step into this conversation, you can shut the fuck up, the guy is right.
ok so you have:
1. HUE,
2. SATURATION,
3. TONAL VALUE.
in photography, saturation refers to intensity of gradual shading of one hue aka. it quite literally refers to the level of intensity white light is mixed with a certain hue. when you have a black and white image, in other words, when you convert an image to black and white or when you shoot in black and white, ALL of those values increase and the intensity or ''quality'' of saturation becomes even more easily visible, which we call that TONALITY. saturation and tonality go hand in hand as you can see from the image here.
TLDR: The quality/intensity of saturation is even more visible in B&W than it is in color. The less shades there are between black and white, the shittier the saturation.
