Limit saturation

[Dazzle5FF7]

Hi
I need some help with limiting the saturation of a color node between 0 and 0.8. I know I should use the linear interpolation function, but when I try breaking the color node with swizzle and limiting the 'y' parameter, it doesn't work. Can you show me the solution? Thanks!

The function needs to output RGBA

So this will do it directly as a function within the uniform color node:

Alternatively, if you want to do this on an image in a separate node then use the pixel processor

Both of these examples just clip the saturation. You could quickly adapt either to interpolate rather than clip.

I hope that helps

Thank you.
In the first method, I have to define 3 parameters but I'm looking for a way to define the color parameter (float4) in a way that just the saturation maximum is limited to 0.8

In my example only the saturation is limited, the hue and value are free to be any value you input.

The HSV controls have to be either on the normal control panel or from a function acting on inputs  which can be exposed in your graph if you wish.  You cannot mix them though.
