Reading mode: Light Dark

where's the SEPIA BUTTON???

Go to last post
There are many shades of sepia from dark brown through to a rusty red. Try this with your pic. Open it up in Photoshop and go to ADJUSTMENTS/HUE-SATURATION. Slowly move the hue slider left or right until you get a shade you like...or...go to ADJUSTMENTS/VARIATIONS and look at your options there. Click on the one you like...or click on more than one.
Cheers

There's a standard action in photoship 7 for sepia toning. Open the list of actions, and you'll find it in there...

Hi,

I've the german version of PS7, so I don't know how the specific menu items are named in the english version.

But let's try:
1. Change the mode of the picture to grayscale ("Picture", "Mode")
2. Change the mode of the picture to duplex (Usualy you can't skip step 1)
3. You will get a window where you can set the options for the duplex mode

4. Choose the type of picture you like to create (duplex, triplex,...). Usualy duplex will be o.k.
5. Choose the second color. Just click in the white field.

You can also load some presets with the "Load" Button.

When you are happy with the picture you can change the mode back to RGB. Otherwise you can only save it to Photoshop formats.

Hope this is helpful..
Klaus

The earlier answers to your questions are all valid. However, I think I may have the solution you are looking for.

Have you tried using the Nikon Vew software? Not Nikon Capture, but Nikon View. You can download a free copy from http://nikonusa.com/template.php?goingto=dtc_home Be sure to download and install both the NV 6.2.1 full version AS WELL AS the NV 6.2.2 updater.

After you have installed the software, open a picture that you want to convert to sepia. One the right side of the screen, you should see Tool Palette 1 with several tabs (general adjustments, red eye correction, color balance and RAW adjustments). Click on the general adjustmets tab (if it isn't already expanded), and you will see four options (auto contrast, sharpening, effect and image size). Next, click on the effect drop down box and your options are none, black and white, or sepia. Click on sepia and it will convert your image automatically. How simple is that?

Here is a link to your picture, converted to sepia using the above technique
http://public.fotki.com/glennd/d70_images/sepia_test.html

You may also want to try out the PS suggestion as well, because it will give you much more control over the conversion process. But if you're just looking for a one click solution, give Nikon View a try!

Good luck and let us know which method you prefer.

I love posts like this. When I first saw your post header I thought you were asking for the sepia button in the D70. My old olympus 3000 had a sepia function if I remember correctly. Fortunately, we are not burdened with all those extra useless features in the D70.

I believe PS7 comes with an action pre-installed for making photos into sepia.
 
Glenn and everyone else, thanks. I will keep on trudging along. It to much fun not... But I must admit, it seemed easier when Ihad my developing trays on the ironing board in the bath tub...

I find the Sepia settings in NikonView 6.2 very realistic, certainly better than many. Give it a try its free to download from Nikon.

Don't like it? Just let it go over your head - be happy
 
Sepia often invoke an image of old and rustic. You sure you wan to do this with the wife's pictures?

Hang in there. I think if you will give digital post-processing a chance you will really enjoy the power and flexibility it gives you. There's a learning curve involved, but if you will be patient and read the posts on this forum, you should be up and running in no time.

As for the days of developing trays, I dabbled with the "old school" way back in my younger days. But now that I have tasted the digital fruit, I will NEVER go back.

Good luck on your journey. Please continue to post examples of your pictures.

Good point... I guess my thinking is better to start closer to home than to wander off into the world of the unkown. At least i have the peace of mind in knowing that i won't get punched inthe nose, since it isn't someone else's wife! :)
