ive read somethings that say you can increase saturation by pushing or pulling transparency film.
can you also decrease saturation?
my dad said he used to used ektachrome 180 pushed to 400.
is that a good idea?
how much should i push or pull film to get the saturation i want?

If you're interested in taking film photos and scanning them onto your computer, I'd recommend you expose and develop color slide film at its rated speed (unless you need to push in order to cope with available light) and adjusting saturation in Photoshop. The following two photos were taken the same evening on the same roll of Provia 100 shot and developed at ISO 100. I increased saturation for the cyclist shot and (obviously) decreased saturation for the jewelry stand shot. Photoshop (and it's related family members) gives you considerable leeway when it comes to adjusting saturation, far more than does pushing and pulling.
