Digital sensors will usually render a scene dull in comparison. So, in this digital photography age we have the ability to closely replicate the Velvia look in Photoshop. Some photographers will tell you to simply turn up the saturation. This is actually a bad idea however, since it basically turns up everything indiscriminately.
A better idea is to follow the instructions in this tutorial or use the free Photoshop actions which are demonstrated after. Here is the one I chose since it is pretty boring and I am hoping to improve it!
The final step before opening the image is to choose the Camera Calibration tab and choose Camera Landscape. A while back there was a discussion on Ephotozine about reproducing the effect of Fuji Velvia film in Photoshop. I have now made them available here for download. Description The actions are based on layers so they are not distructive to your images and can be easily undone. The velvia file contains 7 actions, which are in three groups that should be run in this order: 1.
Instructions How to Install The files go in the "photoshop actions" folder which is inside the "presets" folder in the photoshop program folders To Do This Download the file from here to somewhere handy like the desktop. Mitch, I will never thank you enough for your actions but even more for your tutorials, because what I really need and want is to learn and to understand as well.
It's OK if you want to adjust luminosity. No reason to keep it unchanged. I just got back from ten days in Italy with my Canon 20D. I shot almost 8 GB of raw images.
I was very pleased with the images I took. Particurarly the ones in Venice and Lake Como. However, the extra POP provided by your action made a significant improvement.
I found that for my images and my taste Level 3 worked best. I haven't had a chance to look closely at what your action does, but from your description, it seems similar to the Lab color mode techniques discussed in Dan Margulis' new book "Photoshop LAB Color I was impressed with what little I had a chance to read before I left. I had planned to write some actions using his techniques, but you beat me to it and did a much better job than I could have done.
Hi Mitch, I You can help me. I created a desktop folder psactions. Also, created a subfolder zip 2. The window "load" asks for the file name. Dan just download the zip file to a folder then unzip it, you will have a PDF file a txt. Go to the action palette, click on the arrow at the top, choose load actions, navigate to this folder and select the.
The action will appear in your actions drop down. Thanks For your help Phil. When I downloaded to my "psactions ' folder 2 icons appeared. I'm guessing one is the zipped and the other is not. Which one do I try and unzip and how do I go about unzipping?
I right and left clicked on both of them but did not see any unzip command. Appreciate your help. Do you have Winzip? That's what you need to unzip if your on a pc, mac needs stuffit. I finally got it downloaded, unzipped and into PS actions. The problem was the unzipping. They called it "extracting" on my computer. I'm new at this and old to boot. Bad combination!!! Thank you all for your help, especially you Mitch for the great downloads.
Cheers, Dan. That's great news, George. I'm always pleased when people are enthusiastic about my actions. This weekend I will be posting a new version that includes actions for negative Velvia effects i. This was a suggestion I received today on the Yahoo! Since you have several level adjustments, several color axes and now negative color adjustments, why not NAME the top layer with the level, color axis, etc.
