Like any film, Velvia has its uses, its pluses and minuses. It is very 
good for bringing out detail and colour in muted subjects. I have seen 
large format close-ups of glacial ice forms where the use of Velvia 
wonderfully enhanced the subtle colours present. To counter that we also 
have one stock photographer in Edmonton who shoots the original in 
Velvia and then dupes it onto Velvia again (!) to punch things up a 
bit ! ! Not my cup of tea but he and his clients seem happy enough.
