If you have PS CS3, you can easily create a Sepia effect in the Black-and-White converter dialog.

Sure. Open the Black & White... dialog, click on Tint at the bottom, and play with the Hue and Saturation sliders. For sepia, start with 42 and 20 respectively.

Another easy way is to clilck in the "Creat new fill or adjustment layer" on the layer pallet and choose Hue/Saturation and then when the window pops up, click on "colorize" and adjust your Hue and Saturation sliders to the desired Sepia tones.

ok...how did I do??? here's the "original and the sepia. I'm not real thrilled with the "original" because to keep the sky looking cool, the overal photo looks too blue...so maybe if I maybe the photo sepia I'll take care of that problem!!

Just for reference, this is not a sepia tone photo. It is what might be described as "colorized".
