When "BIW" or "Sepia" is selected, you cannot adjust the saturation.
• These adjustments are not always necessary. You can make an adjustment for each image style. (If
one style is in multiple styleboxes, separate adjustments can be made on each of them.)
• When you need to adjust contrast, saturation, and sharpness before other items, select "Standard"
image style to make the adjustments.
