Velvia look from RAW images?

I suspect that this photographer got into processing his digital/digitized pictures in the Lab color space using a powerful image editor such as Photoshop or the Gimp. This can produce such supersaturated imagery with strong color contrasts.

I think you can get some of the way there with simple tweaks: +1 saturation, then bring in both ends of the histogram until you have placed the white and black points inside the range of recorded data - thus clip the both the lights and darks. This will also accentuate any vignetting from the lens.

Personally I think Moan's images go too far. Either way they look like a product of saturation (film or digital), a noctilux, frequent backlighting, and the above tweaks (or a plugin that automates them).

I think the emulation stuff does a better job than most folks are willing to admit. -Faster than PS'ing the stuff, and I imagine their developers did a lot more testing and tweaking before they put it out to market than you can do. It's done professionally. Costs a bit, though. But if you want that look...
