Try a film that cranks the saturation down rather than up. For slide film,
Provia's an especially good choice. For print film, Kodak's 'Portra' series
works well (stay away from the ones that promise extra saturation, though).
Avoid Velvia and print films like Royal Gold. And don't go too high in the ASA
department, either (100 or lower, if possible). You may have to visit a pro
shop to get some of these better films, but it's worth it.
