What is the easiest way to change a photograph to a sepia tone?

Question

Using photoshop CS, what would be the easiest or the best way to create a sepia tone from a regular photograph?

Answer 1

First desaturate the image (Image - Adjustments - Desaturate). Then go Image - Adjustments - Photo Filter. Use the dialog box to find Sepia. You might have to crank the Density until you get something you like. Or else try applying the Photo Filter a few times because the effect will build up.

Answer 2

Well if you do not have the actual option to do that for you.....



Change it to black and white (greyscale) under Image/Mode to lose the color, change it back to RGB mode (under same image/mode) so you can add color, go to Image/Adjust/Color Balance and add yellow and maybe a little red if you want until it is the color you like.

You may have to fiddle with the balance as well to make it lighter or darker too.



I am not using CE, I have 5.0, so it may be a little different, but that is the amateur way fo changing something to Sepia without the filter.

Answer 3

Take the disc, pop it into your computer and plug into Photo Suite 9 Professional. Do you magic manipulation in the software. That would be the esiest! Print that bad boy out on photo paper.

Answer 4

desaturate and on new blank layer choose the color of sepia you want and pour, then change the blending mode to color.



There are more dificult ways...

Answer 5

Get some clear brown paper at your local craft store and cut the paper to photos size and place on top.
