1. Saturation
While there is a workaround for this, it is not very practical. The workaround takes up costumes, clones, and would not be very easy for new scratchers to implement. This block could be used for many things, and would allow for much more to be created using Scratch.

Support Count:
: 7
: 0

2. Tint
Just like Saturation there is a similar workaround, but it is much more complicated and takes up much more space. Tint not have as many uses as Saturation would, however it would still be a great addition to Scratch. The effect would require to be a new block, as it would not be very easy to implement inside of the normal effects block, and may confuse new Scratchers if it was added to the traditional effects block. Most likely, it would have blocks similar to the pen extension's and would look like this:

Support Count:
: 6
: 0

3. Inversion
Out of all of the ones added to this list, this would be the least used, and may not ever be added to Scratch, but I thought I'd throw it out there as there are still some uses.

Support Count:
: 6
: 0

I don't quite understand what “tint” would do differently than this. Could you please explain it?

Tint is an overlay of a solid color onto the original, I made a demonstration using the current workaround here.

How would the saturation effect be used?

Adding the saturation effect would allow for much more control over the color of sprites. It would be especially useful for games with character customization, as they are able to give the players full control over the colors and brightness, while keeping the texture. On top of that, it would also allow games to fade to grayscale for scenes, like a death scene. Finally, it would also allow game developers to make a game in grayscale, but have the occasional flash of color, for example they may do this if lightning hit the ground. These are my ideas on how it could be used, I bet the Scratch community could find millions of other uses too.

isnt saturation just brightness effect? 100 is white and 0 is the original colour

Saturation is how much color is in the image, for example, 100 Saturation would be normal, and 0 Saturation would be black and white. It is completely different from brightness.

There USED to be a saturation effect, but the scratch teem deemed them useless and buggy.

I know. It was added in 1.2, and was removed because it was decided that it was useless and “glitchy”. Now it is scratch 3.0, and runs on a completely different engine. I do not see how this couldn't be re-implemented.

Also, while it isn't as useful as the color and ghost effects, it is still more useful than the gallery effect, and would be used around as much as the brightness effect.

alr i get it, but shouldnt it be called grayscale then?
support for the saturation thing
i got it confused cuz of the paint editor

I know what tint is but what would a sprite look like between inversion colors 1-99? (0 is normal and 100 is inverted color)

HERE is a project demonstrating ALL of these effects using a workaround.
