I love this photo, and the sepia is great. I am just learning photoshop and have been trying to change some of my photo into sepia, can you tell me how you do that? #10622Kathy Zinn October 11, 2002

Thanks all for your comments.To add the sepia effect to a Black and White picture Carolyn I go into "image", "mode" and change the image from "grayscale" to "RGB Colour". From there I can add colour by going into into "image", "adjust", "colour balance". From there I apply about two parts Red to one part Green until I get the tone I like. There are other ways in Photoshop to apply sepia but I find this way gives me great control.
If you want to change a colour photo to sepia you must go into "image", "adjust", "hue/saturation". Once there take the "saturation" marker all the way to the left to make the image Black and White. Now you can go into "image", "adjust", "colour balance" as above.
Hope this helps,

Nice! What does the B&W look like?I convert my images to greyscale, then duotone (mix to I get what I like), then back to RGB or indexed mode for a sepia effect...
