TLR Digital Velvia
This is a color enhancement
action set from The Light's Right Studio: a Photoshop action set
that make it easy to obtain the rich, saturated colors that people
associate with color slide film. TLR Digital Velvia is a Photoshop
CS/CS2/CS3 action set that is also compatible with earlier versions
of Photoshop.
Rather than use the Photoshop
Hue/Saturation command, which can cause undesirable artifacts, the
TLR Digital Velvia action
set makes a duplicate of the image, flattens the duplicate, and
converts it to L*a*b mode for the color boost. The layer is then
copied back to the original image. Your original image remains in
RGB.
When you run this action, make certain that no additional images
are open.
The resulting layer is given
a default opacity of 75% to make it easy to adjust the effect.
Adjust Overall Saturation
You can increase saturation gradually or go really wild!. There
are five levels for increasing overall saturation.
There are occasions when it is helpful to reduce saturation. TLR
Digital Velvia has five different levels of reduced saturation.

Overall
(+1) • Overall
(+2) • Overall
(+3) • Overall
(+4) • Overall
(+5)
Overall (-1) • Overall
(-2) • Overall
(-3) • Overall
(-4) • Overall

Adjust Red/Green or Blue/Yellow
Saturation
You can also limit your saturation adjustment to either of the
the L*a*b color channels: the magenta/green axis affects predominantly
reds and greens; the blue/yellow axis affects predominantly blues
and yellows. On those occasions when it is helpful to reduce saturation,
TLR Digital Velvia can
help you with that, also. There are five levels of increasing and
decreasing saturation for each L*a*b channel.
Manual Adjustment
If you prefer to "roll your own" saturation settings
rather than selecting a preset amount, TLR
Digital Velvia includes an action for manual adjustment that
takes care of all of the other mechanics.
