Velvia Vision
Velvia Vision is a plugin that enhances the tonal range of an image while retaining highlight and shadow detail. It supports JPEG and TIFF formats, its main feature being its ability to add the warm colors of late afternoon sun to the image, not unlike Velvia film. It lets you load and save custom Velvia Vision profiles.
Comment
While Velvia Vision is not a precise simulator of Velvia film, it certainly gives a similar look. Two or three users have commented (on DPReview.com) that it does an acceptable job but that equally good (and free) plugins are available, such as TLR Digital Velvia from thelightsrightstudio.com
