anyone know a good way to make a color photo into a sepia photo in photoshop 7? black and white is easy, just desaturate, but this is proving tricky....help :-)

| i gave that a shot, but it will not revert anything from greyscale back to color via hue or saturation. i am using ps 7, though the tutorial was for elements. i would think they would work along the same lines but thats not what i am finding. any other suggestions? thanks for the quick response carlight :-) |

| I do it using the regular duotone mode. Start with grayscale, convert to duotone, then to RGB. When you are in duotone mode, click the load button and browse for Photoshop's preset combinations if you've never worked with duotones before. |

| I haven't done any sepia toning lately, but something I used to do was to desaturate the photo, create a colour layer, and fill that with a sepia-ish tone. |

Here's perhaps the easiest way to make sepia in PS7:
in VARIATIONS, click on *MORE YELLOW* and then on *MORE RED* (in that order--and make sure you have MIDTONES selected and that it is about half way between FINE and COURSE).
Then go to the HUE/SATURATION window and desaturate until it is to your liking. DONE!
An even easier way (in terms of steps) is to go the COLOR BALANCE window and bring up yellows and reds in the midtones until it looks good (say 5-10% for each).
The blacks and grays of your B/W photo will automatically dirty up this orange so it looks brown.
I often put the tiniest sepia in my B/W photos to mimic the golden tones of the old printing styles.
Good luck!

2 easy ways in elements:
*click on "enhance"
*Click on adjust collor
*Select hue/saturation
*select colorize
*Move the hue slider to around 26
*move the saturation slider to around 25
*click OK
or
*pick a dark brown and a very light beige in the botom left corner where your color duos are.
*Click on layers
*Click on new adjustment layer
*Click on gradient map ***make sure you stay in NORMAL MODE*****
*click ok
*Go back to layers
*click all the way at the botom of this menu "flaten layers"
* go to "enhance"
* Click Adjust brightnes/contrast
* adjust to taste
*click OK
*Save
I prefer the first option but these are the two I use
