Today I bring you another emulation of Fuji Velvia 100. The original version is available only in the Cold Storage Collection Vol. 1, but today’s version is quite different. This roll of Velvia I sot over the summer was over exposed slightly, exposed at a relative ISO of 80. I was just seeing what would happen, experimenting like I do a lot. I was rather happy with the results, toning down the saturation of the film a bit, even though the roll had a lot of highlight blow-out. This Velvia preset still pops the saturation quite a bit, but plays much nicer with skin tones. Be careful with bokeh though, at there is a high propensity for halos when using on images with heavy bokeh.

Luckily emulations do not suffer from highlight blowout like slide film does, so my emulation of this particular roll is a touch nicer than actually shooting Velvia at 80. I hope you enjoy it. Its different.

So, come back soon and see what else I have in store. 2 more free preset releases and the new Cold Storage Collection drops, so stay tuned. And for everyone who keeps dropping by for scanning tips, that series should launch this week, with the basics of scanning. You may want to grab yourself a copy of Hamrick’s VueScan if you plan on following along with my tutorials.
