Hi Jerry, this may have been said above. Apologies if it has.
In PI you can use Curves to up the colour saturation . It is very easy to use. Open your stretched image and open curves. Click on the preview (open round) icon in Curves and you should see a copy of ypur image. Then select saturation which should give you a straight purple line from bottom left to top right. Click on the middle of it and drag to the left drasgging the line into a curve - as you do do so you will see the colour saturation increase in the preview. Take it to a level you like -- not too far - and then operate on your image and it should up the colour.
But before that step it is very important to have the colour balance right by using COL or PHOTOMETIC COL calibration earlier in the work flow - your image above looks too blue I think
Tim
Yep, I agree. I learned how to use GAIA and color calibration today and I think this is a little better (I think, but I don't really know!)
