Re: STD (Provia) vs Velvia

I'm seeing two very different shades of green (MacBook Pro, basic Color LCD display profile). The Provia green is a bit more bluish, and less saturated to my eyes. The Velvia green (again, to my eyes), is more yellowish, and punchier.

In general, I've noticed the biggest 'Provia-vs-Velvia' differences in the purples and pinks, with Velvia sometimes shifting everything, or at least neutral colors, a bit magenta. Greens get punched up a good bit as well.

Here is a SUPER interesting read – more of a novel – about how each Film Sim shifts colors from their 'natural' look. Really opened my eyes to how much goes into each simulation.
