Velvia 50 (RVP50 ) was reintroduced, on the new film base, in 2007 after announcements under the provisional name Velvia II. In practice, many photographers used an exposure index (EI) of 40 or 32 to increase exposure slightly (one or two thirds of a stop respectively) in order to yield less saturated colors and more shadow detail.
The original Velvia (RVP) was an ISO 50 film. These characteristics make it the slide film of choice for many nature photographers. Velvia has very saturated colors under daylight, high contrast, and exceptional sharpness. A 35 mm Velvia slide can resolve up to 160 lines per mm.
Velvia has the highest resolving power of any slide film. Kodachrome 25 had previously been considered the film to which all other films had been compared, and cannot fairly be compared to Velvia, as Kodachrome is an entirely different process, in which the image is produced with "color clouds" more so than grain. Kodachrome 25 fell out of popularity a few years after Velvia was introduced (in part because of Kodak's lack of interest in promoting their film) Kodachrome 64 and 200 followed more slowly. It has brighter and generally more accurate color reproduction (though many see its high color saturation as unrealistic), finer grain, twice the speed, and a more convenient process ( E-6). Velvia (RVP ) was introduced in 1990 and quickly became a "must try" film, giving Kodachrome 25 some stiff competition as the industry standard in high-definition color film. It is known for its extremely high level of color saturation and image quality.

The original incarnation of the film was called "Velvia for Professionals", known as RVP, a classification code meaning "Reversal/Velvia/Professional series". The name is a portmanteau of "Velvet Media", a reference to its smooth image structure. Velvia is a brand of daylight-balanced color reversal film produced by the Japanese company Fujifilm.
