Hi Paul,

There are lots of ways to get a Sepia tone in PS7. I personally use a plug-in filter by Flaming Pear called Melancholytron. It gives you lots of wonderful options, like vignettes and bluring of edges and it's a quick and easy tool. I use it on most of my Black and Whites. I do, however, advise you to use it judiciously. A little bit of Sepia goes a long way.

For more info on Flaming Pear: http://www.flamingpear.com/

Here is one of mine that I toned with "Sepia".

You may want to try PhotoKit out. It has a number of toning features (as well as other stuff). There's a demo (fully functional for 7 days) so you've got nothing to lose.

Fred Miranda's set of B&W actions contains some duotones and tritones that are varying gradations of sepia. Check them out.

Once you've got a B/W image use the color balance settings to set the amount of warm or cool tones in your image.

I use Curves to produce sepia tones. Visit

http://epaperpress.com/psphoto

and click on Black & White. You can also download curves that simulate Platinum, Palladium, Silver Gelatin, and a bunch of other effects.

Did I mention that they're free?

Hi, I use PSP7 (It came with my Dell and, based on my experience with the program, I've had no reason to spend any extra money on PS7). I use two methods:

1: "Colorize," setting hue and saturation both to zero for B/W or else hue at 10 and satruation at 40 for a sepia look. Usually I leave the untouched image at the bottom and create a layer for the sepia. That way I can "erase" the sepia layer for a handcolored look or else I can go into "layer properties" and make the sepia layer 75 to 80% visible so that you can see some of the underlying color. This gives a great antique/handcolored look.

The only problem with greyscale is that if I choose grayscale, all layers are grayscale. This can be overcome, but only with many many steps/cutting and pasting. With the volume that I do, I can't afford to go through so many steps.

2: "Colorize" zero/zero for black and white; and then "effects; enhance photo; automatic color balance" then select a color temperature of about 4500. This gives a great sepia color. It also doesn't affect my underlying layers.

Hope this helps,
Michelle
