Need Sepia Help - 03-10-2006, 12:49 PM


Does anyone have a good PS action that will convert a photo to Sepia? I have found a couple of the 'Net, but have been very unimpressed with the results.

Secondly, what other controls (brightness, contrast, etc...) should I be adjusting to make a sepia photo "pop"?

If you have examples of the before/after affects of your actions/adjustments - feel free to post them!!!

Kodak has a good sepia program (actually 2 versions) that is in their photodesk software and it is free!

Shane, what version of PS are you using? CS has a supplied action to do Sepia installed.

free plugin, lots of tones to choose from.

I like the color picker, as it gives you some very fine tonal control.

I second this plugin, lots of options and good results. Definitely and must have, especially since its free.
