Most cameras can capture in/convert to sepia on the fly ... this is a case where there are many stages at which you can make the conversion, and many methods with varying degrees of control. Presumably, one of the reasons for running a challenge like this is to encourage you to explore different styles and techniques than those with which you are most familiar. |

| My entry is in, and I used the RAW file. But I processed (and converted) it a couple of different ways before deciding which sepia tone and method to use. |

| I sent my image. I was not sure about my choice, but now I'm in. The voters will tell me if I was wrong. |

I enjoyed trying out some of the techniques mentioned in this thread. Mission accomplished from that point of view. Then I chose the wrong shot and did the wrong things...
But I'm an older and wiser man... |

| I got one... But I personally don't like it being that sepia is not my favorite type of edit... I need someone to say "yay or nay" to even enter it... Help? |

Try different sepia toning techniques. Different images need very different techniques to make them look nice. For instance, sometimes the full power of a sepia filter will do well, while other time your need to tone it down and let the colors from the image bleed through just a bit. |

My entry cracks me up.. Dunno why but it's slightly kooky. Anyway in my edit I didn't even convert to b/w before applying sepia filter (my main subject is brown so you can't tell).. sepia is really hard to turn into a pleasing image so fingers crossed.
