CMOS vs Film - Colour Responses

Try drisley's link, it doesn't require registration, also from my corner of the world, the Adobe site is running real slow!

OK, I downloaded all of the actions, how do I put them in PS?...Dean

To load a set of actions:

Do one of the following:

Choose Load Actions from the Actions palette menu. Locate and select the action set file, and then click Load. (In Windows, Photoshop action set files have the extension .atn.)
Select an action set from the bottom of the Actions palette menu.

I'm surprised no one has suggested increasing the saturation "in camera" through various settings before spending more money

EEM, that will only work for JPG, not Raw.
And the good thing is, all the solutions posted above are free!

I've been trying out the Velvia action on a few of my landscapes this evening and I'm really impressed.

Paul Bleicher has some other actions which are also good (and free).

raw files taken on my 20D show these settings when loaded

ps. where did flying pete mention raw?

EEM, those settings don't affect Raw at all.
What program are you using? Raw programs each have their own defaults, and are independent of the settings on the camera, which only affect JPGs.

BTW, you are right, raw was not mentioned.
I think I'm reading too many posts in this forum.

in canon's software if i shoot with black and white/raw the photos come up as black and white.
the same with any of the saturation/contrast etc settings.

Thumbnails also appear this way in photoshop but not the main image which I expect will happen when the plug-in is upgraded to officially support the 20D

Ran these up last night, nice. Here in a local tree the Pokutakawa has started flowering, it is found on most coast line up here and makes an impressive red display against a blue sky, just the job for Velvia or these actions 8)

Oh really? Is that EVU software?
I didnt notice that when I tried it, but that may be the case.
Anyway, those settings aren't hard wired into the image, not like a jpg.
They would just be guides for the initial EVU setting.
Other raw software just ignores these settings.

I have been playing around with this Velvia action on several photos. It's great on landscapes, buildings, wildlife etc. But not as great on portraits etc. Are there other Photoshop actions out there that emulate portrait films or other films?
