Hi Joel,

Thank you very much for your comment! I was just a little lazy, trying to 
use a simple solution to simulate the great look of Velvia (it is also my 
favorite film). This is another trial, it improve the blues, I hope it 
matches better:

BTW, I also don't like very much about the Velvia 100F I took to a Europe 
trip in 2004. Fortunately my main camera was a E-1 at that time.
