You can find this technique in a pretty old article on leica-users.org.

This reminded me of a bunch of Photoshop actions I had discovered a few years back that allows you to mimic different types of film, including Fuji Velvia and Kodak’s now discontinued Kodachrome. For a set of free actions, they’re not too bad. One word of warning, if you’ve got a camera that produces fairly noisy images, the noise may become more pronounced by the actions. Go to Pierre Bize’s Photoshop Actions site to find them.
