Here's an example of the exquisite saturation from Velvia film. This may
look oversaturated to most people, but the actual scene with its contrast
of blues, grays, and that incredible green actually dazzled the eye. 
This web image is badly blocked up, so be aware that this is posted for
showing the color rendition only. With all the detail it is hard to keep
the image from showing artificats when resizing.
But..there was something I could have done because of the
large transparency - I originally scanned this at 800dpi. So, if I wanted
to provide a good digital image with no artifacts, then a 2400dpi scan
would have fit the bill. Of course, then you have a huge file, but
could have printed a 16x20 without loss... 
The image has been shown before, but I felt that the representation of
Velvia was good enough to re-post on this new sub-forum.
