What Color Negative film comes the closest to slide film such as Velvia, etc?

Fuji 160S is well saturated but I've also had great results with Pro 400H and even Pro800Z punches up nicely in Silverfast...
Have a great day.
 
Kodak as supposedly re-released Gold 100 with a little more color snap and ease of scanning--maybe a similar emulsion to the new Portra? Has anyone found and tried the new Gold yet to see if the claims are accurate?

Since you are scanning and printing digitally, use one of the standard Fuji films or any other color film that is known to scan well. Then punch up the color saturation as much as you like in Photoshop.

... and use a polarizer for additional saturation. OTOH, if you are shooting very colourful scenes in bright light, you may find that you don't really need that much vivid colour.
 
from my experience, i hate the way fuji pro films scan. i have tried nps and npz. npz was a total disaster (even exposed at 400) and nps was okay but all the colors were pastel like and with my weak photoshop skills i wan't able to get them to look right. did they change the properties of the film when they started calling it pro 160 s/ pro 800 z?

i like the way superia scans and kodak ultra color as well as portra. kodak gold is no good. anyway, i prefer scanning slides to negatives. people say it's difficult but with a little practice i was able to get much better results (smoother images and better colors) than with negative film.
