When I look through my sunglasses, the world looks more colorful. Is there a way in Photoshop to simulate this?

Your sunglasses apparently have polarization lenses so that reflections in most objects are reduced considerably. There is no way for Photoshop to know polarized light. The very best thing to do is to put a polarizing filter on your camera.

You can make an image more colorful in Photoshop in many ways, including the Curves command, the Selective Color command, and the Hue/Saturation command.

True, however just tweaking up the color sat. will not "turn down" the distracting glare that a polarizer will.

Nope. The original poster said the world looks "more colorful" through his sunglasses; there are ways to make an image more colorful in Photoshop (and to dim hilights), but nothing will, for obvious reasons, restore image detail that was lost when the photograph was taken.
