Personally I like to use the velvia tool with a blending mode which
includes only high values in the grey channel and where saturation is not
to high.
This way its brings beautiful colors where I usually want without too much
overall saturation.
IMHO the question is : what do expect from the velvia module ? Setting the
velvia module should be the easy part :)
