Default Velvia look

How to process a RAW file to give images that "Velvia" look ? It's
probably not just a saturation boost. I heard you have to play with the
curves or enhance selectively the blues and greens. Has anybody tried
this?

Fred Miranda sells a Velvia Vision plug-in for PS that's pretty good.

Typically you don't do it on the RAW files but on a converted tiff ...

I've seen various 'formulas' involving hue/sat or curves on certain
channels but keep in mind you have to take into account the colors in
the original image and how it was processed, so all these are just
starting points ... here's a typical article on one way to create
'digital Velvia' ...

Print it out and then photograph the print on Velvia. ;-)

Seriously though - the attempts that I've seen to reproduce Velvia from RAW
files have always lacked a certain "something". I know some would probably
think that a good thing (Hi David L ;-)).

I like it. You can vary the effect through an opaque filter.
