High saturation/contrast

One of my signature photo-editing techniques is adding high saturation and contrast to a photo. This makes the colors richer and the picture becomes alive with the colors.
If you have Windows 7 on your computer, just click on a picture then on the top left hand side there is a tab that says 'open'. Click that and go to 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager'. Go to the top and click 'edit picture'. To the right it says 'contrast' just move it around and the pictures will become alive. I <3 it so much! Move the 'brightness' switch around too, so the colors could be even. To go to saturation, go to the top right hand corner and click on contrast. 'Color' will be right below it, just click on that and it brings you to saturation. Move that around too so you can change the colors to what you like.
This is a mini-lesson for windows 7, i don't know what its like for macs, but windows vista is similar to windows 7.
Differences between contrast:
Before:

Graffiti gives you the best example for contrast. This is just some graffiti right next to Shepard Fairy's work in Boston. Here, the colors are dull.
After contrast:

Here, like I said, the colors come alive and the picture sticks out more. I personally like this one better, what about u?
Using hue, contrast and saturation all alter the colors in a picture, so experiment with those and see what you like. To see more pictures using high contrast, saturation and hue go to: www.flickr.com/olivias-cool-photos
