Sepia Toned Conversion

A quick entry today to share with you all a really simple, but effective method of converting a digital image to sepia tone.

*Open an image in Photoshop
* Go to the menu bar and click on "Image," then "Adjustments," and then "Hue/Saturation."
*Click the box next to "colorize" and then adjust the Hue to 34, the Saturation to 13, and the Lightness to 0.

The result is a nice, rich sepia tone that will apply well to most any image.

*However, if you pull up "Hue/Saturation" again and subtract 50 points from the Saturation, you end up with what we call (Warm Sepia Tone), a warm desaturated sepia black & white tone.

Create an action and you'll have one more great tool!
