Velvia does not have an accurate color representation to start with, leave alone the dark tones.
You won't be able to read the targets unless you get a, discontinued now, Spectrascan T. And there is no need to. They both come with reference files which can be uploaded into the profiling software.
Argyll is free and can do profiles from either. i1Match can do from either too but requires an i1Pro device to work. There is a difference between profiles generated by Argyll vs profiles generated by i1Match...Argyll provides a lot more flexibility in profile generating.
