Calculate Saturation

This plugin calculates the saturation from a picture with four different saturation algorithms:
1. (max-min)
2. (max-min) / sum
3. like HSV: (max-min) / max
4. like HSL: (max-min) / (max+min)

Build and install it with:
$ gimptool-2.0 --install elsamuko-saturation.c

You'll find it then under Colors->Components->Calc Saturation.

Example:

The resulting b/w image can be used as layer mask to filter saturation. For example the script elsamuko-naturalize below uses this plugin to give oversaturated images a more natural impression:
