Saturation tool not showing effect

[margieannejulie]

Hi, my saturation tool, is not showing any effect, I checked by turning layer eye off, reducing and increasing saturation all the way, no visible effect, as you see in screenshot I linked to text layer with option click on saturation layer to text layer, nothing, thank you.

What color is your text? If it's white or gray without color then the Hue/Saturation adjustment wont have any (or much) effect on it.

What color is your text?
Hue and saturation will only work on coloured text it will have no impact on gray (lightness still works) unless you tick the Colorize button

It make sense, my text is in fact black, I will try the colorize button, but just to know for now, does it color my text or is to make the desaturation work? thanks

Colorize will add colour. You will need to increase the lightness slider if your text layer is black.

Actually Dave's answer is also correct, will try and let you know in a bit
