Prompt

Apply a Saturation Boost effect, intensifying existing colors into vivid, almost artificial reds, electric blues, and lush greens wherever those hues occur. Preserve neutral areas, fine texture, original hue relationships, and readable highlights and shadows. Avoid halos, added grain, or oversharpening. Keep the original subject and composition.
